26th FA

The 26th Field Artillery Regiment (26th FA) was constituted on 5 July 1918 in the National Army and organized at Camp McClellan, Alabama, later serving in France during World War I. After demobilization, it was reactivated and reorganized several times, notably serving with distinction in World War II as part of the 9th Infantry Division, providing critical artillery support during campaigns in North Africa, Sicily, and across Europe. During the Cold War, the regiment was stationed in Germany as part of NATO's deterrence posture. Over its history, the 26th FA has earned multiple campaign streamers and unit citations, reflecting its longstanding contributions to U.S. Army operations.
