We are the U.S. Army's premier armored fighting force. Since 1921, we have evolved from horse-mounted cavalry to a modern armored force leading the Army's transformation efforts. Headquartered at Fort Hood, Texas, the division has played key roles in major conflicts including World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, the First Gulf War and recent global operations. Featuring three armored brigade combat teams, a cavalry regiment, division artillery, air cavalry and sustainment brigade, the Division stands ready to engage and destroy the enemies of the United States.
