Most of the Kasernes were located adjacent to or within German communities, leading to lively trade and interaction between soldiers and German civilians. A few, however, were somewhat remotely located, particularly Ayers Kaserne ("The Rock"), where the 1st Brigade was stationed, outside Kirch-Goens. The most famous soldier in the 3rd Armored Division during the 1950s was Elvis Presley, assigned to Company A, 1st Medium Tank Battalion, 32nd Armor Regiment, Combat Command C at Ray Barracks in Friedberg. After his time in service, Presley made the movie G.I. Blues, in which he portrays a 3rd Armored Division tank crewman with a singing career. Colin Powell also served in this division. (- -)

Kun itse olin Kadettikoulussa, oli koulun seinällä ruokalaan mentäessä yhdysvaltalaisten panssaridivisoonien tunnuksia, mm. yllä mainitun "Keihäänkärki"-divisioonan (3.) ja "Hell on Wheels"-divisioonan (2.).
