	March battalion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		March battalion (French Bataillon de Marche, Polish Batalion marszowy, German Marschbatallion) is a battalion-sized military unit formed of all the rear-echelon units of an infantry regiment.
		The name is derived from the fact that such battalions are usually left in the barracks after the regiment has left for the front, and spend some time there to gather all the late-comers and volunteers.
		March battalions were used extensively by many European armies of the 19th and 20th century, most notably British, Polish, German and French.

		The battalion marching by the flank, will be formed into column, by section, by platoon, or by company, as soon as the breadth of the way may permit; the several movements which these formations include will be executed by the commands of the captains, as their companies successively clear the defile, observing the following rules.

		However, partly as a result of their training being rushed, partly due to over "hype" of their potential, and largely due to the VM recognising that a Vietnamese-led, well-motivated anti-communist force was a huge potential threat, these units were mauled in their early operations.
