1:156th Armor

The 1st Battalion, 156th Armor Regiment (1/156th Armor) is a unit of the Louisiana Army National Guard with a distinguished history dating back to its origins in the early 19th century. The unit traces its lineage to local militia companies formed in Louisiana, later serving in various capacities throughout American military history. During World War II, elements of the regiment fought in the European Theater, and in more recent decades, 1/156th Armor has deployed in support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, the battalion continues its mission as a modern armored unit, providing combat-ready forces for both state and federal missions.
