The 1st Armored Car Squadron was a unit of the United States Marine Corps which was intended to utilise armored cars in combat. The unit was formed in 1916 in Philadelphia under Marine Captain Andrew B. Drum, falling under the Headquarters of the then-new 1st Marine Regiment. Inspired by the British Army's use of the Rolls-Royce Armoured Car, Franklin Roosevelt (then Assistant Secretary of the Navy) purchased two vehicles from the Armor Motor Car Company of Detroit. These were tested, and six more King Armored Cars were acquired and assigned to the squadron.

- Il 1st Armored Car Squadron era una unità del Corpo dei Marines degli Stati Uniti d'America. Questa unità era creata appositamente per utilizzare le autoblindo in combattimento. L'unità venne costituita nel 1916 con al comando il capitano Andrew B. Drum ed era parte dell'allora 1st Marine Regiment di nuova costituzione. Inspirandosi all'utilizzo che l'esercito britannico aveva fatto delle autoblindo Rolls-Royce, Franklin D. Roosevelt, allora Sotto Segretario alla Marina, acquistò due esemplari di un veicolo blindato prodotto dalla Armor Motor Car Company di Detroit, Illinois. I due veicoli furono sottoposti a prove e successivamente ne furono acquistati altri sei esemplari di quella che ora era designata King Armored Car, tutti i veicoli furono assegnati allo Squadrone. L'unità non fu mai utilizzata in combattimento e venne sciolta a Quantico nel 1921. (it)
