The Вattalion for Special Operations "Hawks" (Serbian: Батаљон за специјалне операције "Соколови", romanized: Bataljon za specijalne operacije "Sokolovi") is a battalion within the 72nd Brigade for Special Operations of the Serbian Armed Forces. Formed in 1992 as a military police battalion for counter-terrorist operations within the newly formed 72nd Special Brigade, became counter-terrorist battalion "Hawks" in 2006 within the Special Brigade and with re-establishment of 72nd Brigade for Special Operations it was renamed to battalion for the special operations "Hawks" with broader range of tasks (not just counter-terrorism). Its main task is counter-terrorism.[1] The symbol of the unit is the falcon.
