The 177th Armor traces its origins to the Michigan National Guard, with roots dating back to the early 20th century. Officially designated as the 177th Armor Regiment in 1959 during the Army's reorganization under the Combat Arms Regimental System, the unit has served primarily as a tank battalion within the 38th Infantry Division. Over the decades, the 177th Armor has participated in numerous training exercises and mobilizations, supporting both state and federal missions. Its legacy is marked by a tradition of excellence in armored warfare and a steadfast commitment to the defense of both Michigan and the nation.
