3:34th Armored Division

The 3rd Brigade, 34th Armored Division (often stylized as 3/34th Armored Division) was a unit of the United States Army National Guard. Headquartered in Iowa, the brigade was a key element of the 34th Armored Division, which was active during the Cold War era, primarily tasked with training and readiness for armored warfare in Europe. The 3/34th participated in numerous training exercises and annual maneuvers, maintaining readiness for potential deployment during heightened tensions between NATO and Warsaw Pact forces. The division, including its 3rd Brigade, was inactivated in 1968 as part of a nationwide reorganization of Army National Guard armored forces, with its units either disbanded or reassigned to other commands.
