From Wikipedia:
Due to the changing nature of warfare and the need for an agile and sustainable Ranger Force, the Regimental Special Troops Battalion was activated 17 July 2006. The RSTB conducts sustainment, intelligence, reconnaissance and maintenance missions which were previously accomplished by small detachments assigned to the Regimental headquarters and then attached within each of the three Ranger battalions.

Special Troops Battalion is an unfortunate name, it makes me think of people riding the short bus. Why didn't they make it Ranger Support Battalion or something like that?
