Unit History
The 5th Armored Group was an all-Black segregated armored formation that served during World War II. It was the only segregated armored group formed during the war and one of only two armored groups that did not deploy as a unit — yet its assigned tank battalions all answered the call, fighting with distinction across the European Theater of Operations. Their service represents both the sacrifice and the resilience of Black soldiers who fought for a country still denying them full equality.
