The Armor insignia, approved in 1950, consists of the traditional crossed sabers (originally adopted for the cavalry in 1851)
on which the M-26 tank is superimposed. The design symbolizes the traditional and current roles of armor.
Birthday: 12 December 1775. The Armor branch traces its origin to the Cavalry. A regiment of cavalry was authorized to be
raised by the Continental Congress Resolve of 12 December 1775. Although mounted units were raised at various times after the Revolution, the first unit in continuous service was the United States Regiment of Dragoons, organized in 1833. The Tank Service was formed 5 March 1918. The Armored Force was formed on 10 July
1940. Armor became a permanent branch of the Army in 1950.
