1:35th Armor

The 1st Battalion, 35th Armor Regiment (1/35th Armor), known as "Conquerors," was originally constituted in 1941 and assigned to the 4th Armored Division during World War II. The battalion participated in major campaigns across Europe, including the liberation of France and the Battle of the Bulge, earning numerous commendations for valor and effectiveness in armored warfare. In the decades following WWII, 1/35th Armor served in various Cold War assignments and later supported operations in the Middle East, including deployments to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Today, the unit continues to uphold its legacy of excellence as part of the U.S. Army’s armored forces, contributing to both combat and peacekeeping missions worldwide.
