independent special purpose battalion


Explanation:
This is a common way this term is translated in the US govt. "Special-purpose" isn't the same as special forces and "independent" is to be preferred to "seperate" as it more correctly indicates its subordination (not co-located with its parent unit and subordinate to a unit one level higher: e.g. an independent battalion reports to a division instead of the usual regiment)

agree  Vladimir Lioukaikine (X): I would suggest "detached" as sounding more "military" and keeping the "independent" meaning at the same time

  -> But "detached" is a temporary status whereas "independent" is part of the unit's formal, permanent name
