Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC), 3rd Armored Division, served as the command and administrative center for the famed "Spearhead" Division. Activated in 1941, the unit played a crucial role during World War II, leading division operations across France, Belgium, and into Germany. Throughout the Cold War, HHC 3rd Armored Division was stationed in West Germany as part of NATO’s forward defense, preparing to counter any potential Warsaw Pact aggression. During Operation Desert Storm in 1991, the unit coordinated division actions in the rapid advance through Iraq, before the division’s inactivation in 1992 following the end of the Cold War.
