The regiment conducted summer training at Fort Sill, and was inactivated by January 1940 after its reservists were relieved from the unit.

It spent almost a year training in the United States and participated in the 1942 Louisiana and North Carolina maneuvers.

For the next several months, the battalion conducted training,[4] and in March and April it relocated forward with the division to Port-aux-Poules in Algeria, east of Oran.

There, the battalion conducted amphibious assault training with LCTs in preparation for the Allied invasion of Sicily, which began on 10 July.

[5] After turning in its vehicles and equipment, the 92nd was embarked aboard a British liner, now a troop transport, at Oran in November.

The battalion spent the winter and early spring of 1944 training for the Invasion of Normandy on the Salisbury Plain.

On 6 June the battalion received orders to march to Southampton for embarkation aboard LCTs, but its crossing of the English Channel was delayed due to the fierce German resistance at Omaha Beach.

It received a Valorous Unit Award and the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm and Streamer.

The battery remained with the 2nd Armored Division and was inactivated on 15 September 1991 at Fort Hood after fighting in the Gulf War.

Its organic elements were simultaneously reconstituted, and the battalion was activated on 1 June 1959 with headquarters at Clearfield, Pennsylvania.

It was released on 10 August 1962 from active military service and reverted to reserve status after serving at Fort Bragg.
