Thanks for the explanation Mark ... though it STILL seems odd terminology, especially the "strength" part. Ah well ...

Hi Karmen;

The most basic meaning of 'strength', in regards to an infantry battalion, in this context, is, "actual live bodies on the ground doing the job".

Cheers

P.S. - if still :, please consult the "Jifferoo", or if that doesn't produce an answer.....maybe ask your two 24 and 7 bodyguards (I've forgotten their names, but I think one has a Sten....)
