1st how bn 22d arty 4th arm div

The 1st Howitzer Battalion, 22d Artillery (1st How Bn, 22d Arty), was an artillery unit assigned to the 4th Armored Division of the United States Army during the Cold War era. Activated in the late 1950s as part of the Army’s Pentomic and later ROAD reorganization, the battalion provided crucial fire support for the division’s armored and mechanized operations in Europe. Equipped with self-propelled howitzers, the unit participated in numerous field training exercises and NATO maneuvers to maintain readiness against potential Warsaw Pact threats. The battalion remained an integral part of the 4th Armored Division until its inactivation and subsequent redesignations during Army force structure changes in the 1970s.
