Though I personally feel that once again "Sci-fi writers have no concept of scale" strikes again; as while Mages are fairly powerful I don't think a battalion is large enough to have the strategic effects desired on screen, a corps sized formation might be large enough to stop breakthroughs; I'm not sure what a battalion sized force is supposed to accomplish other than maybe doing US Army Ranger/British SAS style raids.
Well, it is a test run. Presumably, if Tanya's brigade is really successful (which it will be, I'm sure), we're going to see more of these rapid-response mage brigades popping up and then there'd be that strategic-level impact.

I think it'd be hilarious if Tanya's proposal ends up being the start of some Air Force equivalent for mages in this world.
