1 Service Battalion (1 Svc Bn; (フランス語:1er Bataillon des services)) is a deployable field unit of the Canadian Forces. It provides second- and limited third-line combat service support to units throughout the 3rd Canadian Division.〔“Service Battalion”, http://www.army-armee.forces.gc.ca/en/1-service-battalion/index.page?〕 Located at Steele Barracks, Canadian Forces Base Edmonton, 1 Svc Bn is composed of the Battalion Headquarters and four functional companies: Transportation, Supply, Maintenance, and Administration. Administration Company is unique in that it provides first-line support to the battalion itself, while the remaining companies provide second- and limited third-line support to units across the 3rd Canadian Division. 1 Svc Bn generates forward support groups (FSGs) formed of personnel from each company in order to support domestic and international operations. 1 Svc Bn is a force generation unit that is capable of providing two company-sized FSGs to support operations at any given time. The battalion is composed of an integrated and cohesive team of active military members and public servants. Soldiers must maintain their soldiering and war-fighting skills to a high degree of proficiency, while concurrently developing expertise in their respective trades. The battalion’s primary focus is on conducting and training for operations; however, the unit also provides combat service support on a daily basis to 1 CMBG and the 3rd Canadian Division. 1 Svc Bn has earned a reputation for providing outstanding support and has, over the past two decades, regularly generated, trained, and deployed the National Support Element (NSE) for several Canadian deployments. The unit motto is ラテン語:''Officium super omnia''〔John D. Conrad, Officium Super Omnia – The History of 1 Service Battalion, Calgary, 1993〕 which translates to "Duty above all". The current commanding officer is LCol B.D. Davidson and the regimental sergeant major is CWO W.J. Bantock. == History == 1 Service Battalion (1 Svc Bn) was officially formed on 1 September 1968, however, the unit’s roots can be traced back to around the start of the 20th century through the history of its functional companies: Transportation, Supply and Maintenance. These three companies are descendants of the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps (RCASC), the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps (RCOC), and the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RCEME) respectively. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1 Service Battalion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
