1:36 Field Artillery

The 1st Battalion, 36th Field Artillery Regiment (1-36 FA) traces its origins to World War I, when the 36th Field Artillery was constituted in 1918. The unit saw significant action in World War II, participating in major campaigns across the European Theater, including Normandy and the Rhineland. Throughout the Cold War, 1-36 FA was stationed in Europe as part of U.S. Army forces deterring Soviet aggression. In recent decades, the battalion has supported operations in the Middle East, providing fire support and fulfilling a vital role in both training and combat missions.
