I think he’s being sarcastic.He likes to do that sometimes.
I have no clue about S battallions.Is it axis or allied?
I guess it rather means the US denominations for the different sections of the unit’s staff. In the German Army this would be 1A for the First Staff Officer, 1C for intelligence/enemy activity and so on.
