2nd Bn 147th FA

The 2nd Battalion, 147th Field Artillery (2-147 FA) traces its lineage to early 20th-century National Guard artillery units from the Midwest. It was federalized and saw action during World War I and later reorganized during the interwar period. In World War II, elements of the battalion served in the Pacific Theater, providing crucial artillery support in campaigns such as Leyte and Okinawa. Postwar, the 2-147 FA became part of the modern Army National Guard, where it continues its tradition of service, supporting both state and federal missions.
