Template:Infobox Military Unit

6th Squadron, or 6/9 was a reconnaissance element in the service of the Army of the Iron Throne. It was one of four (4) recon squadrons in the 13th Starborne Division and served under III Legion, supported by Task Force 63 as part of Joint Task Force Rancor.


History

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

Organization

The 6th Squadron was organized into four troops including a Headquarters & Headquarters Troop (HHT), overseeing squadron administration, and three reconnaissance troops. Within each troop were three light armored reconnaissance platoons and one headquarters element. Each platoon consisted of four All Terrain Scout Transports (AT-ST's) or four All Terrain Recon Transports (AT-RT's) divided into two sections of two vehicles each. Each troop's headquarters element typically consisted of two AT-ST's commanded by the CO and XO respectively and supported by the First Sergeant usually commanding an AT-RT with several lighter vehicles in tow.

Section 1 of a standard reconnaissance platoon was commanded by the Platoon Leader (PL), typically a Lieutenant, in Vehicle 1 (sometimes "Walker" 1 depending on which reconnaissance vehicle the unit employed). Vehicle 2 (or "Walker" 2) was commanded by a Staff Sergeant and served as the Platoon Leader's wingman. Section 2 was commanded by the Platoon Sergeant (PSG) in Vehicle 4 (or "Walker" 4) and was supported by his wingman in Vehicle 3 commanded by another Staff Sergeant.

Task/Organization for troops within the squadron was usually identical to that of an armored company. Each troop was commanded by an officer at the rank of Captain (CO) and assisted by an Executive Officer (XO) and First Sergeant (1SG). Platoons were commanded by Platoon Leaders typically at the rank of Lieutenant assisted by a Platoon Sergeant at the rank of Sergeant First-Class.

The squadron itself was overseen by an officer typically at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel assisted by an Executive Officer and Command Sergeant Major (CSM). Squadron Headquarters and Headquarters Troop typically operated a number of light armored vehicles such as the AT-ST, or AT-RT, in order to provide support operations to the squadron elements.
