There are thousands of 1st Tank Battalions in the world. Can we rename this to USMC 1st tank Battalion? DJ Clayworth 22:38, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

  • For right now I don't think there is a reason to change it. While there are many (not thousands) 1st Battalions that are tank units there are none that are names 1st Tank Battalion. Most are 1st Battalion 2nd Armored Regiment or 1st Battalion "Name another unit" They are not stand alone battalions named simply 1st Tank Battalion. I'm actually at work right now so I can't expand to much but I will add more later--Looper5920 23:31, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
  • That seems to be reason enough. I did find this reference on a Yugoslav unit called 1st Tank Battalion but it certainly doesn't have the same fame as the USMC one. DJ Clayworth 14:32, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
