Historical background:

American armored divisions underwent significant reorganization after the experiences of fighting in North Africa at the turn of 1942 and 1943. The standard armored division from 1943 consisted of three armored battalions, three mechanized infantry battalions, and a strong component of self-propelled artillery. Tank commanders played a key role in coordinating actions on the battlefield, often operating in difficult frontline conditions in Western Europe and the Pacific. Their distinctive equipment, including headsets and tanker jackets, became an icon of American armored forces of that period.
