1:180th Field Artillery

The 1st Battalion, 180th Field Artillery (1-180th FA) traces its origins to the early 20th century as part of the National Guard, serving with distinction in both World Wars. During World War II, the unit provided vital artillery support in the European Theater, participating in major campaigns and earning commendations for its actions. In the postwar period, the 1-180th FA underwent several reorganizations, adapting to modern battlefield requirements while continuing to support active and National Guard missions.
