Gli Special Troops Battalions

[Rebel Yell]

Per fare chiarezza, visto che mi e' stato chiesto.
Lo special troops battallion o stb non va confuso con le SOF!
L'stb nasce dall'esigenza dell'u.s. army di dotare la fanteria di unita' di "specialisti" avulsi dal resto della struttura militare (e quindi "trasversali" rispetto all'organizzazione delle divisioni).

si tratta di una creazione molto recente:
