Hypothetical 50th Armored Division

50^(th) Armored Division

Divisional Concept is a Reservist American Armored Division with instructor.

50^(th) Armored Division was a Armored National Guard Division with elements from NJ, TX, NH, DE, VT, and NM NG. This division had recruitment issues pre war so the division will deploy to Europe later to absorb the last of the pre-war volunteers and IRR fillers. To assist the division in fillers the US Army sent additional trainers to train the new Jersey Blues soldiers. The additional training time allowed the National Guards to be trained and equipped with the new ammo.
