крайне туманно написано. Специально, чтобы командиры сверху там, не сильно задавались. Мол, была паника. виновные будут наказаны, положение 3 стрелкового батальона было немедленно восстановлено.

английский язык, язык шейкспира. Не подведите, братаны.

Reference:

situation vs. position and more...

"situation" = "обстановка"
"position" = a lot of things, depending on the broader context.
"Положение" may well be "(physical) condition." Pls expand the context...
Note from asker:
I believe the author purposely uses vague terms(position changes or emotional climate). As an officer who was a pl/xo in a company i can tell that giving too much info will allow your readership to form opinions and really butt into your desicionmaking. Position situation debate was quite helpful vibe and mark thank you. I think i may stay w/situation unless another synonym for it is found.
