The 1st Battalion, 83rd Artillery (Self-Propelled), was a U.S. Army artillery unit activated in 1966 and deployed to Vietnam as part of the 54th Artillery Group. Equipped with the M108 105mm and later M109 155mm self-propelled howitzers, the battalion provided crucial fire support to American and allied forces throughout central and northern South Vietnam. The 1/83rd participated in numerous operations, including support for Task Force Oregon, the Americal Division, and Australian and New Zealand units. After distinguished service marked by high operational tempo and adaptability, the unit was redeployed and inactivated in 1971 as part of the U.S. drawdown from Vietnam.
