I'm looking for a new "B" name to replace Banshee Company. What do you think would be a good name for this company?

I need ideas! I'm taking Command soon of Banshee Company (tank), 1-37 AR, 2/1 AD at Ft. Bliss, and I learned the Soldiers really don't like the name. I have the opportunity to change it, but it has to be something unique because it must be different from any other "B" Company in III Corps. I need ideas! Thanks!

I'm guessing "Beer," "Booze," "Bourbon" and "Bacon" are sitting next to "Blue Falcon" at the kids table.

Since we're talking about a tank co. maybe Barrage or Bastion MAJ (Join to see)

Is there a story, history, or some tradition behind the "Banshee" name, or did it just sound good at some point before? Is there something else in the unit history that might be more appropriate?

Not really any history there. The unit just stood back up a couple years ago. The old name was Bulldog, but I'm not a huge fan of that either.

Berserkers (or berserks) were Norse warriors who are primarily reported in the Old Norse literature to have fought in a nearly uncontrollable, trance-like fury, a characteristic which later gave rise to the English word berserk.
