	3rd Armored Division patch
		The U.S. 3rd Armored division was activated during WW2 in April 1941 combining the forces of tanks, infantry and artillery under the command of a single U.S. Army commanding general.
		The excellent combat record of the division and the fact that the 3rd Armored was often used at the sharp end in battle soon earned the division the name of SpearHead as depicted on the divisions patches and badges.
		During this period the division saw service during the first Gulf War of the early 1990s and was often deployed in the then West Germany during the cold war standoff that threatened Europe and everywhere else for the main part of the later 20th century.

	Correcting Myths About the Persian Gulf War: The Last Stand of the Tawakalna, by Stephen A. Bourque, The Middle East ...
		The Tawakalna Mechanized Division of the RGFC was positioned about 25 miles west of the Kuwait border, located exactly in the center of the US 7th Corps' sector, The Tawakalna was probably the best division in the Iraqi Army.
		While most of the Tawakalna Division commander's attention was focused to his division's front, its right flank was about to be attacked by a fourth American unit, the 1st Armored Division.
		A close study of the 3rd Armored Divison's operational chronology reveals that the 3rd Brigade maintained itself very close to the 1st Brigade and was obviously alert to what was going on in the sectors of the lead two brigades, and, when the order was given, passed through with speed and vigor.
