"S" designations?

[armored infantry]

Hi Jim:

 

Ah, they did have adjutants at the battalion/regimental level. To my knowledge, G designations begin at divisional level and S designations were below.

 

 

Marion,

 

You are correct. That will teach me to work off the top of my head when I should go check the records. The S-1 was indeed the Adjutant, and at the battalion level was also the commander of the battalion headquarters company. I assume this is the same for the regimental level.

 

I was not confused about the difference between the G and S levels. I simply assumed that was a given.

 

Thanks for the correction.

 

Jim
