710 Tank Battalion

The 710 Tank Battalion was established in 1943 as part of the rapid expansion of armored forces during World War II. Initially equipped with M4 Sherman tanks, the battalion saw action in the European Theater, participating notably in the Normandy Campaign and the subsequent push through France. After the war, the unit was deactivated but was later reconstituted during the Korean War, where it provided crucial armored support in several key engagements. In the postwar era, the 710 Tank Battalion was reorganized and integrated into a larger armored brigade, continuing its legacy of service in training and overseas deployments.
