May 12, 2008 Good Morning!

Welcome to the U.S. Armor Association

The United States Armor Association grew out of the United States Cavalry Association, established by a small group of cavalry officers in 1885 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

The Armor Association's charter is: to preserve and foster the spirit, the traditions, and the solidarity of Cavalry and Armor in the United States.

The Association is a non-profit organization with over 4,000 members dedicated to disseminating knowledge of the military art and sciences, with special attention to mobility in ground warfare.

President	MG George H. Harmeyer, USA Ret.
Executive Director	LTC Mark S. Gavula, USA Ret.
