Editing 1st Armored Division (United States) (section)

=== Vietnam ===
Although the 1st Armored Division did not participate as a division in the Vietnam War, there were two units, Company A, [[501st Aviation Regiment (United States)|501st Aviation]] and 1st Squadron, 1st Cavalry, that served in Vietnam.  Both earned [[Presidential Unit Citation (United States)|Presidential Unit Citation]]s, and 1-1 Cavalry received two [[Valorous Unit Award]]s and three [[Gallantry Cross (South Vietnam)|Vietnamese Crosses of Gallantry]].  Neither unit was officially detached from the 1st Armored Division thus veterans of both units may wear the division's patch as a [[combat patch]]. In 1967 the [[198th Infantry Brigade (United States)|198th Infantry Brigade]] was formed from three of the division's infantry battalions and deployed from Fort Hood to Vietnam.  After the war, two of the three battalions, 1-[[6th Infantry Regiment (United States)|6 Infantry]] and 1-[[52nd Infantry Regiment (United States)|52 Infantry]], returned to the 1st Armored Division.

In early April 1968, when rioting broke out in many American cities following the [[assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.]], the 3rd Brigade was deployed on 6 April to assist in restoring order during [[1968 Chicago riots|rioting in Chicago]].<ref name="Scheips">{{cite book |last=Scheips |first=Paul |title=The Role of Federal Military Forces in Domestic Disorders, 1945-1992 |publisher=US Army Center of Military History|year=2005 |isbn=9781517253783 |url=https://history.army.mil/html/books/030/30-20/CMH_Pub_30-20.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150920132904/http://www.history.army.mil/html/books/030/30-20/CMH_Pub_30-20.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=20 September 2015}}{{PD-notice}}</ref>{{rp|309}}
