173rd Special Troops Battalion

The 173rd Special Troops Battalion was officially activated at Warner Barracks in Bamberg, Germany on 8 June 2006 as part of the 173d Airborne Brigade's transition to the US Army's new modular force structure. The unit was organized to include an engineering company, a military intelligence company, and a signals company. As of June 2006, many members of the STB were drawn from the 82nd Engineer Battalion, which was deactivated 30 March 2006.
