Battalions Quotes

Words on military units and the systems behind conflict

These quotes look at battalions from a few different angles: as part of a larger strategic system rather than isolated fighting units, as responders called in during a natural disaster, and as units tracked closely for security updates in troubled regions. Together they point to the organizational side of military life. For related discussions, see Predict quotes.

Quotes by Rick Atkinson
