The most recent award for the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery is the Presidential Unit Citation for service in Iraq from 9 March2003 to 27 June 2004 while assigned to 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division.

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.
How many people to a division of cavalry?
During the Vietnam War, a squadron of US Armored Cavalry was approximately 600 cavalrymen. Two or more squadrons equalled a regiment; two or more regiments equalled a division. During the Vietnam War (the Army has changed since that time) an Army battalion was equal to a squadron. A cavalry "troop" was equal to a battalion's "company." In the Artillery, a company is called a "battery." Examples: "A" Company, "B" Battery, "C" Troop.
What is the difference between army brigades and regiments?
Three regiments make a division, thus, a division is three times the size of a regiment. However in the US Army. A Regiment was a sub-unit of a Division. During WW1 the Infantry Division consisted of 4 Infantry Regiments, divided into 2 Brigades. Thus a Division contained two Brigades and each Brigade contained 2 Regiments plus there were 2 Artillery Brigades of 2 artillery Battalions. At the beginning of WW2, the US Army wanted to reduce the size of its Infantry Division so they were more maneuverable on the battle field. The Brigades command level was eliminated and 1 Infantry Regiment was deleted. So an Infantry Division contained 3 Infantry Regiments and 3 Artillery Battalion(later increased back to 4) and an Engineer Battalion and support units of Medical, QuarterMaster, and other units. The size of the Infantry Division was about 15,000 men. However, since the support units that were not part of the Regiments, that means the Regiment was NOT 1/3 the size of the Division. The Regiments contained about 3,000 men. Each Regiment contained 12 Rifle Companies, identified by Letters A thru M(excluding "J"). The Regiments were grouped into 3 Battalions. So 1st Battalion(as it was called) contained Companies A, B, C & D, where the fourth one, Company D, was a heavy weapons company that supported the other three. A company contained 250 men. There were other support units and a Headquarters Company attached to each Battalion of the Regiment. An Airborne Division was organized very similar to the infantry division except it only had 9 companies per Regiment and the total size was 9,000 men. See Link with simple diagrams that explain the Organization of the US Army Division.

I don't know how many of the first 20 armored division were organized in time to participate in World War 2, but I do not find any reference to the US 19th Armored Division. Also, checked a Department of Army manual used to establish credit for campaign ribbons and it does not list the 19th Armored Division. There was a 19th Armored Battalion of the 14th Armored Division, which saw service with the 7th ARMY in these campaigns: (1) Ardennes-Alsace, (2) Central Europe and (3)Rhineland. For details on the organization command above this division, see the following link. http://www.14tharmoreddivision.org/ Commands found at bottom of this page: http://www.14tharmoreddivision.org/ob14adeto.htm
