The 3rd Special Troops Battalion was a support battalion assigned to the 3rd Brigade Combat Team 187th Infantry Regiment ("Rakkasans"), 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Created on 15 September 2004 as part of the U.S. Army's brigade realignment plan to transform brigades into units of action (UA). Companies from the 326th Engineer Battalion, 311th Military Intelligence Battalion, 501st Signal Battalion, and the 3rd Platoon of the 101st Military Police Company were pulled together to form the 3rd STB. The integration of one or more support battalions into each brigade allows brigades to be self-sustaining and they no longer need to deploy with the entire division in order to utilize division assets. The battalion mottoes "Rak Solid Rakkasans" and "Belong to the Warrior" are statements of the battalion's support and loyalty to the 187th Infantry Regiment. ==Units== The 3rd Special Troops Battalion comprises the following companies: * Headquarters and Headquarters Company – HHC provides staff support; a Support Platoon including fuelers, mechanics, medics, cooks, and security; a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) "Recce" Platoon, and a Military Police platoon for the 3rd STB. * Alpha Company – Providing Combat Engineer support to the brigade. The company was named "The Zone" for its exceptional service in the combat zones of World War II, Vietnam, Operation Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. * Bravo Company – Providing Military Intelligence assets. * Charlie Company – Providing Military communications support to the 3rd Brigade Combat Team. 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「Special Troops Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (United States)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
