Editing Creighton Abrams (section)

===Interbellum and Korean War===
Following the war, Abrams served on the Army General Staff (1945–1946), as head of the department of tactics at the Armored School, [[Fort Knox]] (1946–1948), and graduated from the [[Command and General Staff College]] at [[Fort Leavenworth]] (1949).

Abrams commanded the [[63rd Armor Regiment|63rd Tank Battalion]], part of the [[1st Infantry Division (United States)|1st Infantry Division]], in Europe (1949–1951). He was again promoted to colonel and commanded the [[2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment]] (1951–1952). These units were important assignments due to the [[Cold War]] concern for potential invasion of western Europe by the Soviet Union. He then attended and graduated from the [[United States Army War College|Army War College]] in 1953.

Because of Abrams's service in Europe and his War College tour, he joined the Korean War late. In South Korea (1953–1954), he successively served as chief of staff of the [[I Corps (United States)|I]], [[IX Corps (United States)|IX]], and [[X Corps (United States)|X Corps]].
