Mission

ARMOR magazine is the Armor Branch’s professional-development bulletin. ARMOR is published quarterly by the U.S. Army Armor School, McGinnis-Wickam Hall (Bldg. 4), Suite W142, 1 Karker Street, Fort Moore, GA 31905. ARMOR:

  • Provides a forum to assist the Chief of Armor in explaining Army doctrine, policy or other definitive information;
  • Enables the exchange of information and ideas, thereby enhancing mission-related professional dialogue between the Armor School and Armor Branch soldiers;
  • Provides professional development to leaders and Soldiers;
  • Encourages esprit de corps through our Distinctive Unit Insignia series.

Purpose

As the primary purpose of ARMOR content is the professional development of Armor Branch soldiers, ARMOR focuses on materials for which the Armor School has proponency: armored, direct-fire ground combat systems not serving primarily as infantry carriers; weapons used exclusively in these systems or by CMF 19-series enlisted Soldiers; miscellaneous items of equipment which armored and armored cavalry organizations use exclusively; training for all 19-series officers and CMF 19-series enlisted Soldiers; and information concerning the training, logistics, history and leadership of armor and armored cavalry units at a brigade/regiment level and below, to include threat units at those levels.
