Sabre squadron

Sabre squadron

A sabre squadron in the British Army's Royal Armoured Corps and Household Cavalry is an operational squadron of tanks or other armoured fighting vehicles, as opposed to a headquarters or support squadron. The term is also used for operational squadrons of the British Special Air Service and Honourable Artillery Company. The Australian SAS use the same term for their three Squadrons. The term has also been adopted by the United States Army Delta Force.

There is also a PC game named after the Delta Force unit.
