75th "Romach"/"Lance" Armor Battalion
Equipped with Merkava Mk.2 MBT

The Battalion was formed in 1971 at first as an infantry battalion, but by the end of the Yom Kipper War it had transitioned to an armored battalion with an infantry company element. The battalion took part in the Battle of Tears and was involved principally with the war against Syria in the Golan. The Battalion was naturally heavily involved in action in the Lebanon.
