Military unit
The I Armored Corps was a corps -sized formation of the United States Army that was active in World War II .
The Corps made landfall in Morocco in French North Africa during Operation Torch in November 1942, the Allied invasion of French North Africa, as the Western Task Force , under the command of Major General George S. Patton , the first all-American force to enter the war against the Germans .
Following the successful defeat of the Axis powers under Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel in North Africa, in May 1943, I Armored Corps was redesignated as the Seventh Army on 10 July 1943 while at sea en route to the Allied invasion of Sicily as the spearhead of Operation Husky .
