753rd Tank Battalion 1940–1947 (World War II) The 753rd Tank Battalion was activated on 1 June 1941 at Fort Benning, Georgia. Initially organized as a light tank battalion, it was later equipped with medium tanks and prepared for overseas deployment. The battalion arrived in North Africa in early 1943 and participated in the Tunisian Campaign, supporting Allied operations against Axis forces. Following the conclusion of fighting in North Africa, the 753rd Tank Battalion took part in the Italian Campaign, landing at Salerno and fighting in key battles including the drive to Rome and the Gothic Line offensive. The battalion earned campaign participation credit for Tunisia, Naples-Foggia, Rome-Arno, North Apennines, and Po Valley. After the end of hostilities in Europe, the battalion was inactivated on 10 October 1945 in Italy.
