1 Special Service Battalion (usually abbreviated to ''1SSB'') is an armoured regiment of the South African Army and only one of two such in its regular force. The Regiment is based at Tempe near Bloemfontein. It was previously known both as in English ''1 Special Service Battalion'', and in the Afrikaans Language as ''1 Spesiale Diens Bataljon'' (''1 SSB'' and ''1 SDB''). ==History== (詳細はSpecial Service Battalion was re-organised into 2 battalions - 1 Special Service Battalion and 1 South African Infantry Battalion. When the South African Armoured Corps was thus officially proclaimed in 1946 and Special Service Battalion was included in the corps as the only full-time unit, its symbols and colours were incorporated. 1SSB also took part in the South African Border War, serving in South-West Africa and Angola. More recently, the unit also took part in Operation Boleas, which was a South African intervention in its neighbouring country of Lesotho in 1998. 1SSB had a sister unit for a number of years in the post-World War II era, designated ''2 Special Service Battalion'', which was based in the town of Zeerust. This unit has now been disbanded. 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 Special Service Battalion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
