The result of the move request was: moved. Seems there is agreement to move to the two-letter suffix "rd". The back-n-forth has only occurred once, 2009 to "rd" and 2017 back to "d", and looking at the rather strange entries in the navbar at the bottom of the page, it appears that only those unit numbers ending in "2" and "3" get the one-letter suffixes. I'll update that navbar as part of the page-move cleanup.

Comment. It's not a typo. See the patch illustrated in the article. "3d" and "3rd" are both abbreviations for "third", although my impression is "3d" is becoming more obsolete over time, especially outside the military. The article title has been moved back and forth over the years. I'm not sure whether one is any better than the other.

Neutral / Support. While it's not a typo, "3d" and "2d" (in place of "3rd" and "2nd") are becoming obsolete. The title of the page, to someone unfamiliar to military things, is confusing and seems like a typo. The page has had both names, but "3rd" is the most recognizable to all.
