4th 68th (Airborne) Armor Ft. Bragg NC

The 4th Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment (Airborne), was an armored unit assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division and stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Activated in 1984, the battalion was notable for being one of the few airborne-qualified armor units in the U.S. Army, equipped with light tanks and tasked with providing armored support to airborne operations. The unit participated in numerous training exercises and rapid deployment missions, enhancing the division’s combat capabilities during the Cold War era. In 1996, the battalion was inactivated as part of post-Cold War force reductions, but its legacy endures within the airborne and armor communities.
