sabre squadron
A sabre squadron, or (in US English) saber squadron, is an army combat unit of sub-battalion size, as opposed to a headquarters or support unit.
The term ''sabre squadron'' is typically used to refer to units descended from or influenced by cavalry such as armored or reconnaissance units. The term is named after the sabre used by soldiers on horseback and is the direct equivalent to the term ''rifle company'' used by infantry units. Though the term originated and is still in routine use in the British Army, it is now also used in reference to cavalry, armoured, artillery (though the term ''battery'' is a more common equivalent) or special forces units in other countries. The term is also used for operational squadrons of the British Special Air Service.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Special Air Service (The SAS) )〕 The Australian SAS use the same term for their four squadrons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1st Squadron, Special Air Service Regiment )〕
