What vehicles do tank battalions have?
During the Vietnam War US Army & US Marine Corps tank battalions consisted of about 57 M48A3 Patton tanks (sometimes 58 tanks). The M48 Patton was technically called the M48 90mm Gun Tank. 3 line companies of 17 Pattons per company, 3 platoons consisting of 5 Pattons per platoon. The remaining 2 tanks were in Headquarters Platoon (the captain & XO's tanks). The remaining 6 or 7 Pattons were in HHC company (Headquarters and Headquarters Company). That took care of the tanks, then there were M113 Scout vehicles (Armored Personnel Carriers/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles), M125 Mortar Tracks, Medic Tracks, Maintenance Tracks, all being modified M113s. Plus about four M88 VTR (Vehicle Tracked Retrievers), and 1/4 tons (jeeps). ALL OF THESE WERE IN HHC company. The whole tank battalion consisted of about 600 men; less than half of whom were tank crewmen.

What weapons did the axis use?
Except for the tip of the spear, which was a few battalions of the high tech Germans with advanced weaponry, the Axis still used Bolt-Action rifles from WW1 and still rode horses. And yes they had tanks, but the armor was only an inch thick and was useless against the Allies better tanks. And the Germans "Royal Tiger" tank (the best they had) was so complicated that it was only used for stationary, and they only made about 200 of them.
How many tanks did General Patton's third Army?
An exact answer is not possible. It might be possible to give a number that the 3rd Army was supposed to have on any particular day, according to the Table of Organization and Equipment of the various units assigned that day to the 3rd Army. Almost assuredly though on that given day the number actually available would have been less, due to mechanical issues and battle damage. To find the ACTUAL number available on that particular day would require delving deeply into the daily reports of those subordinate units, buried in the National Archives. In WWII tanks were found in two types of units. There were several hundred "Independent" Tank Battalions, which were not a permanent part of any larger formation. These were in addition to the sixteen Armored Divisions. The existence of these two types of tank units was due to the fact that in 1940, on the eve of the war, nobody knew what the proper role was for tanks. Should they be dispersed among and used to support infantry? Or should they be massed into large formations and used for smashing, slashing breakthroughs? In the end, the Army decided to do both, and created the Independent Battalions to support the infantry, and the armored divisions for breakthrough and exploitation. There were independent battalions of numerous types, not just tanks. The idea was that these battalions (artillery, signals, engineers, tank, tank destroyer, etc) would be assigned to HQs higher than a division, which is to say to corps or field army HQs. Then, they could be moved around as needed, to supplement the "bare bones" WWII infantry divisions. For this reason the independent battalions are sometimes referred to as "corps troops" or "army troops". Sometimes they were also called "bastard battalions" (no parent unit). In practice though, in Europe, Independent Tank Battalions, though only "attached" to infantry divisions on a "temporary" basis, often stayed with the same division for months, and developed good teamwork. Of the sixteen WWII armored divisions, one was in Italy, and the other fifteen were in western Europe. (Tanks in the Pacific were all Independent Battalions). There were also about 45 infantry divisions in Europe. This meant the typical army corps had three infantry divisions and one armored division. Divisions could be, and were, moved from corps to corps, often shifting to the command of the corps "next door" in the line. Similarly, corps could be, and were shifted from field army to field army, as needed. This happened in all the field armies in the line in France and Germany. I believe the XII Corps and the XX Corps were in the 3rd Army the entire time, but others came and went. A field army usually had from two to four corps in it. And of course the various corps had their "corps troops" and the army had its "army troops". The Table of Organization and Equipment for an armored division was changed several times, changing the number of tanks a division was supposed to have. See Related Link below for an excellent discussion. For all these reasons giving a precise answer to your question is almost impossible, and the answer would differ for different days.

How many in a marine corps platoon?

How many tanks the vietam War tanks were there?
1. In Vietnam, US Army Armored Cavalry Squadrons (equivalent to a Battalion) were equipped with M551 Sheridan tanks and M113 ACAVs (Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles). Only one US Armored Cavalry Regiment was in Vietnam, the 11th ACR (Armored Cavalry Regiment-Black Horse). Approximately 200 Sheridans were in country at any one given time 2. US Army Armor Battalions (Tank Battalions) were equipped with M48A3 Patton tanks. Three USMC tank battalions and three USA tank battalions served in Vietnam. Approximately 57/58 Pattons per battalion, plus one or more tank companies within the 11th ACR. Approximately 400 US Patton tanks served in Vietnam. 3. The Australian 1st Armored Regiment consisted of 26 Centurion medium tanks. 4. ARVN regiments were equipped with M41 Walker Bulldog Light Tanks. Approximately 250 M41s served in Vietnam. 5. There were at least three NVA Armored Regiments known to exist during the war, numbers are unknown; but they consisted of the T54/55 medium tank and the PT-76 Amphibious Light Tank.
How many tanks does the US Army have?
During the Vietnam War, US Army "Armor" Battalions (Tank Battalions) consisted of approximately 53 to 57 M-48 Patton tanks. 17 tanks per company; three companies per battalion, with two or more tanks in HQ Company. Armored Cavalry Squadrons consisted of approximately 27 to 30 tanks (Patton and later Sheridan tanks). Basic rule of thumb is two or more battalions made up a brigade, two or more brigades made up a division, and two or more divisions made up a corps. AFTER the Vietnam War, the US Army switched from a 5 tank platoon/17 tank company to a more "metric" orientated organization...along with the new 9mm service pistol (which replaced the Army .45). As of 2011, the US Army and US Marine Corps have a total of about 4500 M1A1 and M1A2 tanks in service, with approximately the same number of M1 tanks in storage. The US Army operates about 80% of the total US tanks.

Do tank destroyer battalions have the same organization and vehicles as tank battalions?
No. Tank destroyer battalions had three companies, A, B and C, and each had 12 guns. These were self-propelled guns at first, then in 1943 about half the tank destroyer battalions converted to towed guns, which proved to be immobile. So most converted back to self-propelled guns after that. The original self-propelled guns included one model mounted on half-tracks. Eventually several purpose-built self-propelled guns were provided. These were tracked vehicles, with no armor, and a larger gun than those mounted on tanks. The tank destroyers proved to be death traps in their intended role of fighting enemy armor, but gave good service as self-propelled artillery. The army had sixteen armored divisions. Two of these were "heavy", the 2nd and 3rd, retaining an early Table of Organization, which included armored regiments. The other fourteen armored divisions had three tank battalions each, and, in addition, there were seventy-some "independent" tank battalions. These were organized with four companies. A, B and C had medium (Sherman) tanks and D had light (Stuart) tanks. See related link below for an excellent discussion of WWII US armor organization and vehicles, including the tank destroyers.
How many tanks are in a tank division?
During the Vietnam War, a standard US Army "Armor Battalion" (tank battalion) consisted of approximately 57/58 Patton M48A3 tanks. Two or more, but usually three, battalions equalled one brigade. Two or more, but usually three, brigades equalled one division. US Marine Corps tank battalions (in Vietnam) were organized the same as the Army's. Only Army & Marine tank "Battalions" were in Vietnam; as well as armored cavalry squadrons, which were the equivalent of battalions (but contained far more armored vehicles in their troops (companies are called "Troops" in the cavalry). With the one exception of the 11th ACR (Armored Cavalry Regiment) which, in the cavalry is equivalent to a brigade. In Vietnam, the 11th ACR was commanded by COL. George S. Patton, son of WW2 Gen Patton.

How many tanks in a US tank battalion?
The "tank battalion" is no more. In the new modular heavy division (which contains three minidivisions called Brigade Combat Teams), there are two Combined Arms Battalions per BCT. Each CAB contains two mechanized infantry companies running M-2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles and two Armor companies running M-1 Abrams tanks. Each armor company has fourteen tanks in it...so, a Combined Arms Battalion contains 28 tanks.
How many tanks in a battalion?
During the Vietnam War, US Army & Marine tank battalions consisted of 57 to 58 Patton medium tanks. US Armored Cavalry Squadrons in Vietnam consisted of about 27 Pattons per Troop, then switched to M551 Sheridans in 1969; again, 27 tanks per Troop (company), only Sheridans instead of Patton tanks. Roughly 81 Sheridans per squadron.
