The 20th Armoured Division "Macedonia" (Greek: 20ή Τεθωρακισμένη Μεραρχία «Μακεδονία» Ikosti Tethorakimeni Merarhia «MAKEDONIA», abbrev.

XX ΤΘΜ) of the Hellenic Army is headquartered in Kavala, Macedonia.

[1] These efforts were resumed after Liberation, with mechanized units being established in 1945 and fighting in the Greek Civil War of 1946–49.

The motto of the 20th Armored Division is "In The Shade" (Greek: Υπό σκιή, Ypo Skii).

The phrase is attributed to the Spartan soldier Dienekes, who on the eve of the Battle of Thermopylae, was told by a native of Trachis that the Persian archers were so numerous that their arrows would block out the sun.
