181st Support Battalion, or 181 was a support battalion in the service of the Army of the Iron Throne. It was one of five (5) support battalions in the 13th Starborne Division and served under II Legion, supported by Task Force 62 as part of Joint Task Force Rancor.

History

The battalion was formed in 27 ABY as part of the Dark Council's military reformation following the Battle of Antei. With countless worlds felled by ongoing turmoil, the shaken galaxy offered no shortage of fighting beings whose militaries had collapsed and desperately sought survival through employment of their skills.

Organization

181 Support was organized into four companies including a Headquarters & Headquarters Company (HHC), overseeing battalion administration, Base Support Company (BSC), Forward Support Medical Company (FSMC), and a Forward Support Company (FSC). Depending on its mission, 252 could have up to three Forward Support Companies attached. Each company was composed of three to five platoons or sections composed of several squads or teams responsible for their various support tasks.

Each company was commanded by an officer at the rank of Captain (CO) and assisted by an Executive Officer (XO) and First Sergeant (1SG). Platoons were usually commanded by Platoon Leaders typically at the rank of Lieutenant often assisted by a Platoon Sergeant at the rank of Sergeant First-Class.

The battalion itself was overseen by an Officer typically at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel assisted by an Executive Officer and Command Sergeant Major (CSM).
