Atlas Mobile Battalion

The Alliance 1st Mechanized Battalion, also known as the Atlas Mobile Battalion or Atlas Battalion, is a combined arms battalion in the Alliance's Human Expeditionary Army. Formed one year after the end of the Spellcross War, the Atlas Battalion is one of multiple combat units established to help administer peace and order in law as well as intervene in different conflict zones. Headquartered at Butuan, New Agusan, Novaya and its mobile home base the ANS John Alexander, the Atlas Battalion is one of several independent battalions capable of rapid response operations.
==History==
The Atlas Mobile Battalion's origins dates back to the times of the Spellcross War, where a number of military units that were part of John Alexander's combat group would form the post-war battalion it is known today. Among the military elements that fought under Alexander's command and supported his units there were:
*Atlas Mechanized Company
**Atlas Panzergrenadier Company
**Atlas Tank Command Squadron
*Rhodes Island Operations Reserve Team 3
*Amaterasu Guards Infantry Company
*Edelweiss Tank Platoon
*Black Suns Infantry Company
*Red Suns Volunteer Infantry Company
*Team Rainbow
*USS Spirit of Independence (pre-ANS John Alexander)
*Tactical Fighter Squadron 68
*Helicopter Assault Company 36
==Organization and structure==
While John Alexander, a North American civilian and later naturalized Czechoslovakian and famed general of the Alliance military, serves as the ceremonial commander and patron, the Atlas Battalion lacks a form of centralized authority; instead, authority is decentralized among various unit commanders who were involved in the Spellcross War. This decentralized command structure had proved to be a huge boon as it allows the various unit commanders to make on-the-fly decisions as well as support each other.
While the command structure is decentralized, there exists a sort of de jure centralized authority, albeit one that handles the state of affairs of the entire battalion. The Atlas Battalion Staff, also known as the Atlas General Staff or the Atlas Command Staff, serves as the meeting place as well as the place of decision making. Chaired by General John Alexander, the Atlas Command Staff engages in conference-style meetings pertaining to events or the state of affairs.
