Battle

A battle is a form of conflict between two forces which can occur on land, at sea or in the air. Battles are primarily fought on land and at sea, but is known to take place in the air, though less frequently.

Battles are usually what are explained as "Essential components of a war", which is often the larger conflict in which the battle is centered around (Such as the Battle of Mount Hyjal during the Third War.)

Most battles are primarily aimed at defeating the opponent's forces, or can also be typically aimed at securing areas of land, resources or sending out a political or military message.

Since the early inception of Military Awards and Honours, battles of mention and/or campaign significance have been honoured and typically, a medal or a bar is awarded to veterans of the said battle. Generally, a battle veteran is awarded a bar, which is a typically bronze-make bar with the name of the battle upon it and is often pinned to the campaign or "War Medal".
