1 BN 37th Armor

The 1st Battalion, 37th Armored Regiment, known as "Bandits," traces its lineage back to the formation of the 37th Armor Regiment in 1941. The unit first saw combat in World War II, participating in campaigns in North Africa and Europe, including the Rhineland and Central Europe. During the Cold War, the battalion was stationed in Germany as part of the U.S. Army's commitment to NATO, and later took part in Operations Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom. Renowned for its combat effectiveness and esprit de corps, 1-37 Armor remains a key armored battalion within the U.S. Army, exemplifying the motto "Courage Conquers."
