163rd FA

The 163rd Field Artillery (FA) is a historic unit within the United States Army National Guard, tracing its origins to early 20th-century artillery formations. Organized and federally recognized in the interwar period, the 163rd FA provided vital fire support during World War II, notably serving in the European Theater. Throughout the Cold War, the unit underwent several reorganizations, adapting to new technologies and mission requirements while maintaining a strong tradition of service. Today, the 163rd FA continues to support both state and federal missions, upholding its legacy of excellence in field artillery operations.
