266th

266th is the ordinal form of the number 266, used to denote the position of an item within a sequence. In English, it is pronounced “two hundred sixty-sixth” and is appended to a noun to indicate order, as in “the 266th chapter” or “the 266th edition.”

In military contexts, ordinal numbers are commonly used to label formations and units in a sequential system. The designation 266th has been used for various units in different countries, reflecting a broader practice of numbered formations. The exact type, country, and historical period of a 266th unit vary by source, and multiple instances may exist without a single definitive reference.

Beyond military usage, 266th can appear in other numbering systems: as a designation in catalogs and lists (such as the 266th entry of a publication or the 266th issue of a periodical), as a batch or serial number, or in references to dates, events, or anniversaries counted ordinally. It may also occur in address contexts or road designations in some locales, though such usage is less standardized.
