1:51st FA

The 1st Battalion, 51st Field Artillery Regiment (1/51st FA) traces its origins to the 51st Field Artillery, which was first constituted in the Regular Army in 1917 and served in France during World War I. The unit saw action in several key campaigns, earning battle honors for its service. During World War II, elements of the 51st FA participated in major operations in the European Theater, supporting Allied advances with effective artillery fire. In the postwar period, 1/51st FA underwent several activations and inactivations, serving as a vital component of U.S. Army artillery forces in both peacetime and conflict.
