An Armored Division is a military formation that primarily uses armored vehicles, such as tanks, to conduct operations. These divisions are designed for rapid movement and heavy firepower, allowing them to engage enemy forces effectively. They typically include infantry, artillery, and support units to enhance their combat capabilities. Armored Divisions play a crucial role in modern warfare, providing a balance of mobility and protection. They are often deployed in offensive operations to break through enemy lines and exploit weaknesses. Notable examples include the U.S. Army's 1st Armored Division and the German Panzer Divisions from World War II.
