www.answers.com... couldn't get an exact number so i looked up battalion
A military unit consisting of a variable number of combat battalions or regiments
en.wikipedia.org... so, just how many battalions are in the The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has several companies. several being of a number more than two or three but not many.....or a great number. www.merriam-webster.com... so, if we take the least number of men in a battalion (500) multiplied by the least number of companies (2) we have about 1000 men. on the other hand, if we take the greater number of 7 battalions with the greatest number of men (1500) we would have 10,500 service men in this brigade. staggering...................scary...................! i definitely will keep my eyes open.
A battalion is a military unit of around 500-1500 men usually consisting of between two and seven companies and typically commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel. Several battalions are grouped to form a regiment or a brigade.

The command is at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo., but the soldiers with 1st BCT, who returned in April after 15 months in Iraq, will operate out of their home post at Fort Stewart, Ga., where they’ll be able to go to school, spend time with their families and train for their new homeland mission as well as the counterinsurgency mission in the war zones.

Wow...you people, especially the OP, are off your rocker.
Do you really think this would happen? What kind of B-Movie do you think life is? Do you honestly think that simply because congress is again going to try to get this bill passed, that people will be revolting in the streets, to the extent that the situation will have to be contained militarily?
You people need to find a hobby. Possibly presciption drugs too.
Calm down.
