1st battalion 37 Armor Europe

The 1st Battalion, 37th Armor Regiment, known as "Bandits," has a distinguished history within the U.S. Army, particularly in Europe. Originally constituted in 1941, the battalion participated in key operations during World War II, including campaigns in North Africa and Europe. In the postwar era, 1-37 Armor was stationed in Germany as part of U.S. Army Europe, playing a vital role in NATO’s deterrence mission during the Cold War. In recent decades, the battalion has continued to serve in Europe, supporting training exercises, partnership missions, and maintaining readiness as part of forward-deployed armored forces.
