Video: California’s Atomic Age Armored Division
New video on the California Army National Guard's 40th Armored Division during the late 1950s. This video covers the U.S. Army Armored Division's organization pre- and post-Pentomic, how the unit conversions were handled in the 40th Armored Division specifically (which was also an Infantry Division before 1954), and the geographical extent of the division across Southern California.
