82nd Armored Reconnaissance Battalion

The 82nd Armored Reconnaissance Battalion was a part of the 2nd Armored Division, and was activated July 15, 1940 at Fort Benning, Georgia for World War II. The organization was made up of trained men, from cavalry and reconnaissance units. The reconnaissance battalion was known as the "eyes and ears", of the 2nd Armored Division.
==History==
The battalion mainly used the M-8 Light Armored Car, as it was fast, up to 56 mph (90 km/h), and gave some protection from small arms fire. M8 was equipped with a 37 mm gun and 6X6 wheel drive. The M8 was the main reconnaissance vehicle used by the US military in WW2. Also used was M20 scout car, which was a M-8 without the 37 mm gun and turret. In its place was an anti-aircraft ring mount for a .50-caliber machine gun. A bazooka was provided for the crew to compensate for its lack of anti-armor weaponry.〔Steven J Zaloga, Tony Bryan - M8 Greyhound Light Armored Car 1941-91, 2002 Osprey Publishing (New Vanguard 53), ISBN 1-84176-468-X.〕 With this vehicles, the 82nd could scout ahead of the slower M4 Sherman tank with a top speed of 25 mph to 30 mph. Also used for reconnaissance and to run messages Harley-Davidson WLA motorcycles were used by the 82nd as well.〔(US Army WLAs in Wartime Photos and Publications (Harley-Davidson WLA) July 1st, 2014 )〕 Almost all units used Jeeps as they were fast four-wheel drive utility vehicles.
