1:36th ARTY

The 1st Battalion, 36th Field Artillery (1/36th ARTY) traces its lineage to its constitution in 1918 as part of the National Army, serving briefly during World War I before demobilization. Reactivated for World War II, the battalion provided crucial artillery support in the European Theater, participating in campaigns across France and Germany. During the Cold War, 1/36th ARTY was stationed in Germany as part of the U.S. Army’s commitment to NATO, maintaining readiness throughout the tensions of the era. Over its history, the unit earned campaign streamers and commendations for its distinguished service before eventual inactivation during post-Cold War restructuring.
