The 1st Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment (1/68 Armor) was originally constituted on 1 January 1942 in the Regular Army as Company A, 68th Armored Regiment. It fought with distinction in World War II as part of the 6th Armored Division, participating in campaigns including Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. In the postwar era, the battalion saw multiple activations, inactivations, and redesignations, serving under the 8th Infantry Division and later the 4th Infantry Division. In recent decades, 1/68 Armor has deployed in support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, continuing its legacy of armored excellence and combat readiness.
