George S. Patton had a long career in the Army. During WW2, he was a general in command of an Army.

What branch of the military is the armored division in?
The US Armored Division was a division that was organized to be a mobile unit that used tanks. The US Army did not have armored divisions when Germany began its "blitzkrieg" attacks across Europe. The US have very few good tanks. The US Army organized the Division to have 2 Armored Regiments and 1 Armored-infantry (or mobile infantry) Regiment. Later, this organization was found to be too bulky. Also, they saw the need to have smaller mobile armored units to support the infantry advance- simliar to German panzer-grenadier regiments. US Infantry Divisions did not have any armored units as part of their organization. However, they eventually had 1 Tank Destroyer Battalion and 1 Anti-Tank Battalion or more assigned to them for support.

What is the difference in an Amored Infantry Division and an Infantry Division particularly during World War 2?
For WW2: Armored Infantry Divisions were equiped with half-tracks. Regular Infantry Divisions walked (or trucked). During the Vietnam War those Armored Infantry Divisions gave way to the new MECHANIZED INFANTRY DIVISIONS, equipped with M-113 APC/ACAV (Armored Personnel Carriers/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles). Only one US Army Mechanized Infantry Division was in Vietnam (and only it's 1st Brigade); the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division (Red Diamond Patch). Regular Infantry Divisions in Vietnam were called "Straight Legs", "Straight" meaning...straight foot soldiering.

How does armored warfare change warfare today?
Armored warfare was first majorly used in WWI. When first used The physcological factor was apparent, espescially when infantry would run from their trenches when seeing an armored car or tank. At first, single tanks would be packed with small packs of infantry to support them, instead of being used en masse (in large groups) like they are today by most armies. After Hitler took control of Germany, he planned a new type of warfare to shock and awe enemies. It was called Blitzkrieg, or "lighting war". As you can guess, his central component was the tank, which he used en masse coupled with the Luftwaffe. This changed the whole aspect of warfare, and revealed armored warfare and armoredvehicles capabilities. Armored warfare today is a prime component of ground warfare. Armored units today provide multiple uses that no modern army could survive without. Main Battle tanks (i.e. M1 Abrams) and Infantry Fighting Vehicles(i.e. M2 Bradley) provide heavy and light infantry support. Self propelled guns (i.e. M109 Paladin) and artillery pieces (i.e. M198 howitzer) provide artillery bombardments for infantry. Engineer vehicles (i.e. M60A3 engineering vehicle) detroy obstacles for infantry and other armored units. And finally Armored personel carriers (i.e. M113, M2 Bradley) and utility vehicles (i.e. HMMVW or the Humvee) provide light fire support and garrison and transport units. Armored warfare helps define modern warfare as we see it today. Without infantry would easily be taken out by attack helicopters, and air strikes. Armored warfare has many factors, and one lost could lose the battle. It helps support infantry, forming a spearhead of modern day armies, and has quickly sped up how much time wars last.
