Okinawa based Battalion ?[edit]

How many detachments (ODA) in each company ?--Jonybond 07:01, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Answer: There are 6 ODAs in the average company. But often the number can vary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.242.209.55 (talk) 01:22, 8 April 2008 (UTC) Answer: I was an Operational Detachment "A" (SFODA, or "A Team") commander in A Company, !st Special Forces Group in '68-'69. At that time the TO&E for the Group included 4 line Companies (A,B,C, & D) each with three "B" Teams, each in turn with 6 "A" Teams. Actual staffing was less; more like 2-3 B teams with 4 A Teams each. Accurate numbers were hard to determine because each company had operations running that were not publicized, such as the teams supporting MACVSOG ops in RVN. Each Company had specific country interests as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:5B0:2BFF:EF0:0:0:0:3D (talk) 18:31, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
