In the context of a Brigade Tactical Group integrated attack, the fixing force is typically a unit that engages the enemy in order to hold them in place while other units maneuver to exploit weaknesses or achieve objectives.

A battalion is a larger unit that can effectively establish and maintain a position against enemy forces due to its size and combat power. It is well-equipped for a sustained engagement, allowing it to employ a combination of firepower, maneuver, and logistical support, thus serving as an effective fixing force.

While smaller units, such as companies, platoons, or squads, may play roles in the overall attack operation, they generally do not have the same capability to hold or fix an enemy force for an extended period or against significant resistance. The coordination and capability inherent at the battalion level ensure a more robust and resilient fixing force, which is crucial during complex operations such as integrated attacks.
