US Army Armor School

The US Army Armor School was established in 1940 at Fort Knox, Kentucky, to develop and train armored warfare tactics and doctrine for the United States Army. Throughout World War II, the school played a crucial role in preparing tank crews and leaders, contributing significantly to Allied successes on the battlefield. Over the decades, it evolved to incorporate advances in armored vehicle technology and combined arms operations, continually adapting its curriculum. In 2011, the Armor School relocated to Fort Benning, Georgia, as part of the Army’s Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process, where it continues to train the next generation of armor soldiers and leaders.
