26APs

The 26th Artillery Platoon (26APs) was established in 1952 as part of a broader expansion of field artillery capabilities within its parent division. Initially equipped with towed 105mm howitzers, the unit provided direct fire support during several key Cold War exercises and operations. Over the decades, 26APs underwent modernization, transitioning to self-propelled artillery platforms and integrating advanced targeting systems. Renowned for its precision and rapid deployment, the platoon played a vital role in joint NATO maneuvers and continues to serve as a cornerstone of divisional artillery support.
