1:8th FA

The 1st Battalion, 8th Field Artillery Regiment (1/8th FA) was originally constituted on July 1, 1916, in the Regular Army as Battery A, 8th Field Artillery. It was organized in July 1916 at Fort Bliss, Texas, and later assigned to the 7th Division during World War I, where it provided crucial fire support. The unit has seen extensive service in several conflicts, including World War II, the Korean War, and Operation Iraqi Freedom, adapting to various artillery systems over its history. Today, 1/8th FA continues its legacy of excellence, providing field artillery support as part of the modern U.S. Army.
