Quote:The term for a battalion column on a two company (division) frontage is column of battalions by division.
Clarification: Battalion column by divisions refers to a single battalion with three divisions (two companies each) arrayed one behind the other.
When referring to a division, a division with its battalions in that formation is a column of battalions by division. The two brigades of a division could be side by side or behind one another.
A column of divisions by battalion has the divisions with their battalions in line behind one another.
After all this definition effort, I am beginning to believe the mistaken/misunderstood order theory!
d/Erlon's Corps was not a paragon of military efficiency in this campaign.
