The 2/10th Armoured Regiment was formed in Western Australia in July 1941 as part of the 2nd Armoured Brigade of the 1st Armoured Division. The Regiment conducted its initial training at Puckapunyal, Victoria prior to being equipped with M3 Stuart and M3 Grant tanks. In Mid 1942 the Regiment was relocated to near Narrabri, New South Wales where the Division conducted large-scale exercises. In September 1942 the Regiment was transferred to the 1st Armoured Brigade to replace the 2/6th Armoured Regiment when that Regiment deployed to New Guinea.
As part of the 1st Armoured Brigade the 2/10th Armoured Regiment was relocated to Western Australia in January 1943. When the 1st Armoured Division was disbanded in September 1943 the Regiment survived as part of the independent 1st Armoured Brigade Group. The 2/10th Armoured Regiment was disbanded in September 1944 along with the headquarters of the Brigade Group.
