67th Armored Regiment 1940–1947 (World War II) The 67th Armored Regiment was constituted on 25 March 1941 in the Regular Army and assigned to the 2nd Armored Division. Activated on 1 April 1941 at Fort Benning, Georgia, the regiment played a significant role in World War II, participating in major campaigns including the invasion of North Africa (Operation Torch), the Sicily campaign, and the Normandy landings. The regiment fought through France, Belgium, and into Germany, earning distinction for its actions in the breakout from Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge. Following the end of hostilities in Europe, the regiment was inactivated on 25 March 1946 in Germany. 1948–1957 (Early Cold War / Korea) The 67th Armored Regiment was reactivated on 14 July 1947 at Fort Hood, Texas, as part of the 2nd Armored Division. During the early Cold War period, the regiment remained stateside, focusing on training and readiness as part of the Army’s armored force. It did not deploy to Korea as a regimental unit but contributed to the Army’s overall deterrence and preparedness during this era. 1958–1980 (Cold War / Vietnam Era) In 1957, the regiment was reorganized under the Combat Arms Regimental System, with its battalions serving as key elements of the 2nd Armored Division. Throughout the Cold War, the 67th Armored Regiment’s battalions participated in numerous training exercises and deployments in support of NATO commitments in Europe, maintaining a high level of readiness but not deploying to Vietnam as a regimental unit. 1980–Present (Post-Vietnam / GWOT) The 67th Armored Regiment’s battalions continued to serve with distinction as part of the 2nd Armored Division and later with other units following Army reorganization. Elements of the regiment participated in Operation Desert Storm in 1991, contributing to the liberation of Kuwait. In the post-Cold War era, battalions of the 67th Armored Regiment have deployed in support of operations in the Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan, earning campaign participation credit for their service in the Global War on Terror.
