The 3rd Yokosuka SNLF was a Marine Paratrooper battalion of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Marine Paratroopers (SNLF).
Deployment[edit]
They were involved in the Battle of Timor (1942), they dropped close to Usua, 22 km (14 mi) east of Kupang, and then occupied Usau. Following a series of sustained assaults on their positions, the Paratroopers had suffered immense casualties and were forced to retreat into the Jungle.
Disbandment[edit]
The 3rd Yokosuka SNLF was later absorbed into the 1st Yokosuka SNLF due to a lack of Manpower in the later years of World War II.
