Unit History
The 5th Armored Group was an all-Black segregated armored formation that served during World War II — the only segregated armored group formed during the conflict 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 is a testament to the courage and resilience of Black soldiers who gave everything for a country still working to give them full equality.
