Knights of the Armor Force

“We Forge the Thunderbolt”

Enter the General Adna Chaffee Room

Knights of the Armor Force wishes to dedicate this room to the man known and revered as the "Father of the Armor Force," Major General Adna R. Chaffee, Jr. He is hailed as one of the most visionary and influential military leaders during the interwar war period. Although a cavalry officer, he envisioned an independent, fast-striking mechanized/armored force, which became the modern-day U.S. Army Armor branch.
