3:64th Armor Battalion

The 3rd Battalion, 64th Armor Regiment (3/64th Armor) was originally constituted in 1942 as part of the 64th Armored Regiment and served with distinction during World War II, participating in campaigns across the European Theater. During the Cold War, 3/64th Armor was stationed in Germany as part of the U.S. Army’s commitment to NATO, providing armored deterrence against potential Warsaw Pact aggression. The battalion later saw action in the Gulf War as part of Operation Desert Storm, where it played a key role in the rapid armored advances into Iraq. In the post-Cold War era, 3/64th Armor continued to serve with distinction, supporting operations in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom before its deactivation as part of Army restructuring.
