HHB 15th Artillery Group (AD)

HHB 15th Artillery Group (Air Defense), also known as Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 15th Artillery Group (AD), was a key command unit in the U.S. Army’s air defense artillery branch. The unit traces its origins to World War II, where it provided critical command and control for artillery forces. Reactivated and re-designated several times throughout the Cold War, HHB 15th Artillery Group (AD) played a vital role in coordinating air defense operations in Europe, particularly in Germany, as part of NATO’s deterrence strategy against the Soviet threat. The unit was recognized for its readiness and effectiveness before its eventual inactivation as part of broader force restructuring.
