		The 3rd Armored Division was reduced to zero strength (but not inactivated) on 15 February 1992 and removed from the force structure.
		Victory Corps also sent its 3rd Armored Division and some battalions from the 8th Infantry Division along with VII Corps, because the Spearhead Division was well advanced in its modernization process and was largely equipped with Bradley Fighting Vehicles.
		When the Battle of the Bulge broke, the Division was shifted to Houffalize, Belgium, where it severed a vital highway leading to St. Vith, and in January participated in the reduction of the German salient west of Houffalize.

		As you know, the 20,000 troops or so of the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division were one of the units that were at the point of the spear during combat operations.
		Now, the other airframe that we have with us is the Blackhawk, and that traditionally has done great service here, and probably gets the most use on a day-to-day basis here moving troops and equipment around the city, and back and forth from Kuwait.
		So in the C2V we had the friendly force tracker system, which enabled us to see all of our leadership on the battlefield, plus we could see where the MEF was and the 101st, and any element in the theater that had their systems on.

		November 1944, the French 2nd Armored Division is tasked to breach the German fortified line of the Vosges mountains.
		The 3rd Armored Division was one of the two "heavy" armored divisions in the US Army.
		Being one of "heavy" armored divisions, meant that they were under an old table of organization and, possessed three regiments instead of two, 232 Medium tanks instead of the 168 allotted a light armored division, and with attached units numbered over 16,000 men, instead of the normal 12,000, now found in the lighter armored divisions.

		It was good for him to see the men who fought alongside his grand-dad as part of the war against fascism and its assault on all that is good in the Western world.
		As an American in London you realize that the U.S. and the UK are really the last bulwarks willing to protect the West from the evil and chaos that those who hide in the shadows wish to bring us.
		One could argue that this U.S. support was one of the first examples in the post WW2 era of a foreign government allowing (or aiding) financing of a terror group whose aim was to carve out a piece of an ally's territory.
