The 751st Tank Battalion was activated at Fort Benning, Georgia, on June 1, 1941.  It was then moved to Fort Knox, Kentucky, where the battalion was training when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.  In early 1942, the battalion moved from Fort Knox to Camp Gordon, near Augusta, Georgia, and then to Fort Jackson, South Carolina.  In June of 1942, the 751st Tank Battalion performed a tactical demonstration for Winston Churchill at Fort Jackson.  Churchill was impressed with the battalion and wanted it in England to help protect the British Isles from a Nazi invasion.  And so the battalion boarded a train bound for Fort Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania, where they staged for a few days before being loaded into the backs of trucks and hauled, in the dead of night, from Pennsylvania to New York Harbor.
