2nd Bn 6th Arty Spearhead

The 2nd Battalion, 6th Artillery, nicknamed "Spearhead," has a distinguished history of service in the United States Army. Constituted in 1907, the battalion saw action in both World Wars, providing crucial fire support in Europe during World War II. During the Cold War, the unit was stationed in Germany as part of the 3rd Armored Division, ready to respond to any threat on NATO’s front lines. Renowned for its professionalism and readiness, the 2nd Battalion, 6th Artillery earned its "Spearhead" moniker by being at the forefront of key operations until its inactivation in the post-Cold War drawdown.
