Armor

Back

   The heritage and spirit of the United States Horse Cavalry lives today in Armor.  And although the horse has been replaced by 60 tons of steel driven by a 1,500 HP engine, the dash and daring of the Horse Cavalry still reside in Armor.
    Today, the Armor branch of the Army (which includes Armored Cavalry), is one of the Army's most versatile combat arms.  And it's continually evolving to meet world wide challenges and potential threats.
    Being a leader and manager of men and equipment in Armor is challenging and demanding.  An Armor Officer learns to develop into a competent, professional combined arms leader capable of employing tanks, armored and air cavalry, mechanized infantry, artillery, engineers, and Army aviation, all supported by a flexible and swift communications network and a highly mobile and responsive combat service support system.
    As he progresses in rank, he develops skills which encompass the entire range of combined arms operations and leadership responsibilities.  He manages training, funds, fleets of vehicles, equipment, maintenance systems, and much more.
    Without a doubt, the Armor branch offers a bright, ambitious young man and excellent opportunity for advancement to senior levels of responsibility.
