The 771st Tank Destroyer Battalion Headquarters Company was activated during World War II as part of the U.S. Army’s efforts to counter German armored forces in Europe. Initially organized and trained in the United States, the battalion deployed to the European Theater and began operations in France in late 1944. The 771st supported American infantry units during the Rhineland and Central Europe campaigns, providing critical anti-tank support and engaging enemy armor and fortified positions. The unit continued combat operations until the end of the war in May 1945, after which it was inactivated as part of the postwar drawdown.
