Unit History & Information
The 3rd Battalion, 73rd Armor Regiment (Airborne) was one of the most unusual formations in modern U.S. Army history: an armor battalion built to deploy with the 82nd Airborne Division and provide paratroopers with armored direct-fire support immediately after an airborne assault. Equipped with the air-droppable M551 Sheridan, 3-73 Armor carried the airborne armor mission from the mid-1980s through 1997 and proved the concept in combat during Operation Just Cause in Panama.
Less than a year after Panama, 3-73 Armor deployed to Southwest Asia with the 82nd Airborne Division following Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. During Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, the battalion’s Sheridans gave the division an organic armored direct-fire capability while heavier U.S. formations built combat power in theater. During the coalition ground offensive, 3-73 Armor operated with the 82nd Airborne Division as it advanced into Iraq, supporting the division’s light infantry and protecting its flank during the rapid campaign.
