The 2nd Battalion, 32nd Armor Regiment (2/32nd Armor) was first constituted in 1941 and activated at Camp Beauregard, Louisiana. The unit saw combat in World War II as part of the 3rd Armored Division, participating in key campaigns across France and Germany. During the Cold War, 2/32nd Armor served in Europe, enhancing NATO's armored capabilities against potential Warsaw Pact threats. In later years, the battalion was periodically reactivated and inactivated, with its lineage and honors continuing as part of the U.S. Army’s ongoing force restructuring efforts.
