The 63rd Armored Regiment was constituted on 3 May 1942 in the Army of the United States as the 63rd Armored Regiment and assigned to the 11th Armored Division. It was activated on 15 August 1942 at Camp Polk, Louisiana. The regiment participated in several campaigns during World War II, including the Ardennes-Alsace, Rhineland, and Central Europe campaigns. Following the end of the war, the regiment was inactivated on 31 August 1945 at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey. Over the years, the unit underwent several reorganizations and redesignations, reflecting changes in the structure and needs of the U.S. Army armored forces.
