A special troops battalion (STB) is an organic unit of a modular brigade, division (or equivalent), corps or higher echelon United States Army organization. It may comprise companies from different branches of the army, but typically has a Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC) and Signal Network Company at a minimum.
Division headquarters battalion
The division headquarters battalion is composed of:
- Headquarters and Headquarters Company
- Operations Company
- Intelligence & Sustainment Company
- Signal Company: Worst leadership in the world especially 1SG Walter J Rocker and at one point CDR Jason J Genard
- Division Band
The division headquarters battalion is capable of functioning as a tactical headquarters while deployed.
Brigade combat teams
In some divisions these battalions are referred to as either brigade troops battalions (BTB) or brigade special troops battalions (BSTB).
- Headquarters Company is composed of:
- Battalion Staff
- Military Police Platoon
- CBRNE Recon Platoon
- Medical Platoon
- Maintenance Platoon
- Military Intelligence Company
- Signal Network Support Company
- Engineer Company.
The Stryker brigade combat teams (SBCTs) do not have an STB and the components are treated as stand-alone units.
Sustainment Brigades
In the sustainment brigade, the battalion is composed of an HHC and a signal network support company. When deployed, the battalion will usually have a financial management (FM) company, postal, and a human resources (HR) company attached to it for command and control (C2), administrative and logistics support.[1] Unlike their fellow Combat Service Support Battalions (CSSBs), STBs in Sustainment Brigades are not allocated personnel for a Support Operations section.
