4:32nd Armor

The 4th Battalion, 32nd Armor Regiment (4/32nd Armor) was activated as part of the 1st Brigade, 3rd Armored Division in 1963. Throughout the Cold War, the unit was stationed in West Germany, serving as a key element of NATO’s forward defense against potential Warsaw Pact aggression. During Operation Desert Storm in 1991, 4/32nd Armor played a significant role in the ground offensive, helping to breach Iraqi defenses and liberate Kuwait. After the end of the Cold War, the battalion was inactivated as part of the Army’s postwar drawdown and restructuring.
