* This unit was designated merely as the Security Platoon, Third Infantry Division. It was attached to Headquarters & Headquarters Company, 3rd Infantry Division. It was a special, "elite" platoon, of unique design. There were five squads of eight each, armed with one machine gun, one rocket launcher and one BAR per squad. The heavy armament was to allow its special mission. The platoon was to provide security for the Division Commander and generally the Division Headquarters, ie. perimeter security such as roadblocks, etc, as well as the "G Sections" at Division Headquarters.
At one time, there were physical profile requirements (eg. over 6' tall & over 300 score on standard PT test) and the platoon provided an Honor Guard and Division Drill Team, for special Headquarters ceremonies and Drill Team Competition. Jim Tobin
