Special Troops Battalion, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (United States)
Summary
The 1st Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division Special Troops Battalion is a special troops battalion of the United States Army headquartered at Fort Drum, New York. It is the organization for the command elements of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division. The battalion contains the division's senior command structure, including its Headquarters and Headquarters Company, as well as communication and support elements.
Tracing its lineage back to the mountain warfare training command activated during World War II, the battalion received credit for participation in two World War II campaigns. Formally activated in 2004, it has since seen two deployments supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom in support of the 1st Brigade Combat Team.
The 1st Special Troops Battalion is subordinate to the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, and is a permanent formation of the brigade, as the 1st Brigade Combat Team's command elements are all contained in the STB.
The battalion consists of four companies; the brigade's Headquarters and Headquarters Company, as well as A Company, a Combat Engineer company; B Company, a Military Intelligence company; C Company, a Signal company; and a Military Police platoon. These companies provide services for the other battalions of the 1st Brigade Combat Team. As such, all of the formations are mountain warfare qualified.
Special Troops Battalion, 1st Brigade, 10th Mountain Division traces its lineage back to the 10th Mountain Division's original Headquarters element, which was constituted with the rest of the division in World War II. It was activated 17 September 1942 as the 10th Mountain Training Center. After the training of the Division's soldiers was complete, the Training Center became the division headquarters. The division headquarters then fought through the Italian campaign, earning two campaign streamers during its service.
Upon the return of the division headquarters and 1st Brigade, the 10th Mountain Division began the process of transformation into a modular division.
