77e régiment blindé (États-Unis)

The 77th Armor is an armored (tank) regiment of the United States Army. The 77th Armor Regiment is part of the U.S. Army Regimental System with only a single battalion, the 1st Battalion, 77th Armor Regiment, and is therefore classified as both a single battalion and the remainder of the Regiment itself. 1–77 AR is currently stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas as part of the 3rd Brigade "Bulldogs", 1st Armored Division and has transformed from a tank pure battalion into a combined arms battalion (CAB).
In 1976, Brigade 76 assigned the 1st Battalion 77th Armor to a six-month TDY assignment. At Wiesbaden Air Force Base, the Battalion was situated.
