The Role of Armour in the Australian Defence Force is defined as:
"The co-ordination with other arms, to close with and destroy the enemy forces using fire, manoeuvre and shock action."
The 14th Light Horse Regiment (West Moreton Light Horse) (QMI) was a Light Horse militia unit in Queensland. On 1st October, 1918 as part of a army renumbering scheme, it became the 14th Light Horse Regiment (West Moreton Light Horse) (QMI). This scheme was adopted so that Citizen Military Force (CMF) units would take on the numerical designations of their A.I.F. counterparts which had been raised in the same areas. The 14th Light Horse Regiment (West Moreton Light Horse) (QMI) adopted the battle honours of the 14th Light Horse Regiment A.I.F.
After several redesignations, it was absorbed in the Australian Army Service Corps, 3rd Army Tank Brigade, Australian Armoured Corps effective 8th May, 1942.
