24th Special Tactics Squadron - Disposition

Disposition

Based at Pope Air Force Base the 24th STS is a U.S. Air Force special tactics squadron.

The Air Force Special Tactics operators assigned to task forces under command of the JSOC (Task Force Ranger, such as Task Force 121, Task Force 6-26 and Task Force 145) were always from the 24th STS and never from any other STS. Conversely, 24th STS personnel have not participated in 720th Special Tactics Group operations; for example, Combat Controllers assigned to Special Forces "A-Teams" during the Afghanistan invasion belonged only to 21st, 22nd and 23rd STS.

Famous quotes containing the word disposition:

    He who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    How strange or odd some’er I bear myself,
    As I perchance hereafter shall think meet
    To put an antic disposition on.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    A submissive spirit might be patient, a strong understanding would supply resolution, but here was something more; here was that elasticity of mind, that disposition to be comforted, that power of turning readily from evil to good, and of finding employment which carried her out of herself, which was from Nature alone. It was the choicest gift of heaven.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)
