2nd Bn - 69th Armor Regiment

The 69th Armored Regiment's history began on 15 July 1940 when it was formed and assigned to the lst Armored Division. This original assignment did not last for long. In February 1942 it was reassigned to the 6th Armored Division where it continued to serve until September of 1943 when elements of the Regiment were divided and reassigned. The Regimental HQ and lst Battalion remained with the 6th Armored Division as the 69th Tank Battalion, while the 3rd Battalion was redesignated as 708th Amphibian Tank Battalion and was a participant in several critical amphibious campaigns and distinguished itself during the bloody fighting on Okinawa earning the battalion the Navy Presidential Unit Citation.
