Guys i´m planning to form a mechanized Unit based on US Empress´s figures.
I´m planning to have 2 vehicles (Tanks) and Us infantery.
Can you give me some ideas about famous Units of this kind in military area or some ideas about vehicles or kind of units?

Hey mate, can you tie it down a bit with your preferred time period 90s, early 2000s or ultra modern (2010+)? It has some bearing on the unit, what they were equipped with and the colour scheme you'd be looking at ....
cheers

Are you talking about the M1A1s? OR Bradley's and Stryker's?
Are you thinking US Army or the USMC?
You have Stryker and Armor brigades. Light Infantry do not have any of the vehicles I said earlier.
Give us a little more info about what you are looking for? Who do you want them to fight and when?

Don't know if this helps at all.

Depending on timeframe...
Desert Storm: The Tiger Brigade under COL Sylvester (a brigade from 2AD) lead the Marines in their assault on Kuwait City (and the USMC gets all the credit, the Army boys got none.) 2ACR fought the famous Battle of 73 Easting.
2003 Invasion of Iraq: 1-64 Armor did the first Thunder Run into Baghdad, followed a couple days later by the whole 2BDE of 3ID on the next Thunder Run. 1st ID (if you're gonna be one, be a Big Red One!) did a lot of the heavy fighting in the 2nd Battle of Fallujah (2004) and again, Uncle Sam's Misguided Children got all the credit...
