222nd Army Battalion



The 222nd Army Battalion is a fictional battalion of the United States Military in the game Battlefield: Bad Company. It does not return in Bad Company 2, where it is replaced by the United States Marine Corps in both single and multiplayer.

Battlefield: Bad Company
The Battalion's 'B' company is where the US Army rakes together all the insubordinates, hell-raisers and troublemakers that won't fit in any other unit. When the Rangers and Deltas are too expensive to waste, these guys are the first ones in and the last ones out. They're called “Bad Company”; a mismatched bunch of rejects and misfits selected to serve their country as cannon fodder. This isn't the kind of outfit a lot of soldiers would join voluntarily. Getting transferred to the 'B' is a punishment and a way for the generals to put all their rotten eggs in one basket. No one starts out in Bad Company. But for some, this is where they end up.
