USAR/NG in Desert Storm
U.S. Army Reserve and National Guard Support of 3AD Combat Operations
In addition to the organic and attached Active Component units that made up the 3d Armored Division in combat, there were also Reserve Component units mobilized and attached to the division throughout the division’s deployment in the Persian Gulf. As time passes, we will work hard to tell their story. In the meantime, we are putting a list here of those Reserve Component units. Please feel free to contact us if you see a unit missing from the list. Details on these units and rosters for these units can be found on the “Division Troops” section of this website (see link to the left).
