WHO WE ARE
The National Armor and Cavalry Heritage Foundation (NACHF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, dedicated to supporting the U.S. Army Armor and Cavalry Collection in its mission to preserve the heritage, unique spirit, and future of armor and cavalry. Through the support of our generous donors the NACHF is able to provide funding to enhance exhibit projects, macro and micro artifact restoration/preservation and maintain the Armor and Cavalry Heritage Park located at Fort Moore, GA.
The National Armor and Cavalry Heritage Foundation manages the recruiting, training and education of volunteers to assist the Collection staff. The volunteers provide critical support in Soldier training, community/public outreach events, organizational tours (schools, veteran groups, reunions, etc.) and Collection artifact restoration and preservation.
THE COLLECTION
Most people don’t know the Collection even exists though it is the largest collection of US armored vehicles, and the second largest armored vehicle collection coming from all countries in the world! Located at Fort Moore, GA, it has over 265 historic vehicles and 66 anti-tank weapons. It contains the armored vehicle “classics” from all sides of World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War, to today.
Housed in a Training Support Facility (TSF) the indoor exhibit area for the Collection is over 100,000 square feet while the “Armor & Cavalry Conservation Center”, next door has an additional 96,000 square feet housing over 9,000 artifacts, the Armor Restoration Shop, the Collection’s Reference Library, and administrative offices.
Today’s collection now truly spans the history of Armor and Cavalry and includes many extraordinary vehicles such as World War I’s Mark VII Tank, the first US tank co-produced with our allies; World War II’s German Tiger Tank 712, and example of one of the most feared tanks in the war; and the M26 Pershing, one of the heroes of the Korean War, to name but a few. The collection continues to expand with recent additions such as TF 1-64 Armor’s A11 (“Answer to This”), the M1A1 Abrams first into Baghdad during the 2003 Thunder Run.
The NACHF works work with The US Army Armor and Cavalry Collection to support its mission to provide training on the history of Armor and Cavalry, and the restoration and preservation of artifacts housed in the TSF. This facility presents great opportunities for a partnership that is mutually beneficial to NACHF's mission and the US Army's Armor and Cavalry Collection. Your support allows us to provide much needed assistance to the TSF and enables us to improve and maintain our Armor and Cavalry Heritage Park.
