Rob's Note: Note the difference between Divisions for the abbreviation for a Forward Support Battalion (FSB vs. SPT). Normally active divisions with FSBs, MSBs (Main Support Battalions) and ASBs (Aviation Support Battalions) use FSB/MSB/ASB and the support battalions for non-divisional units such as Separate Infantry/Armor Brigades and corps level support battalions would use “SPT”.
