Heavy Metal Typo

I'm proofreading something that refers to the 1st Armor Division of the U.S. Army, instead of the 1st Armored Division.

The 1st Armored Division is a more than half-century old fighting unit of soldiers known as "Old Ironsides." And the first Armor Division would be what? Knights on horseback? Those suits of armor that come alive and clunk around Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies? It's kind of a cool image.

But it's stlll a funny typo.
