HHC 3:37 Armor Battalion First Infantry Division

Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC), 3rd Battalion, 37th Armor Regiment, was a key element of the U.S. Army’s 1st Infantry Division. Activated during the Cold War, the battalion was originally stationed in Germany as part of NATO’s forward-deployed forces, maintaining readiness to deter Soviet aggression. HHC 3-37 Armor played a significant combat role during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, leading armored advances into Iraq and helping to liberate Kuwait. In the post-Cold War era, the unit participated in peacekeeping and training missions before eventually being inactivated as part of Army force restructuring.
