USA Elm MAAG Iran ARMISH (SD-6645)

**USA Elm MAAG Iran ARMISH (SD-6645)** was a United States Army element assigned to the Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) and Army Mission (ARMISH) in Iran. Established in the aftermath of World War II, this unit was tasked with advising, training, and modernizing the Iranian military as part of broader American efforts to bolster regional security and counter Soviet influence. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, USA Elm MAAG Iran ARMISH played a crucial role in reorganizing Iranian ground forces, implementing Western military doctrines, and facilitating the transfer of U.S. military equipment. The unit remained active until the late 1970s, when the Islamic Revolution led to the cessation of the U.S. military presence in Iran.
