M8 armored cars were generally organic to reconnisance troops of Cavalry Squadrons, which were, in turn, organic to Armored Divisions. Equipment within the squadron included 1/4 to trucks (jeeps) as well as M3 halftracks, and 2 1/2 ton trucks.

You can check any OBs, such as the one in Wikipedia and find the Divisions. Also I forgot that there were Cavalry Groups attatched directly to Army HQ. BTW, I'm on the other side of the state, in El Paso.
