3:17th Field Artillery

The 3rd Battalion, 17th Field Artillery Regiment (3-17 FA) traces its origins to the 17th Field Artillery Regiment, which was constituted in 1916 and served with distinction in both World Wars. Reactivated and reorganized multiple times, 3/17th FA provided critical artillery support during the Vietnam War, participating in campaigns such as the Tet Counteroffensive and Sanctuary Counteroffensive. The battalion continued its service through the Cold War era, maintaining readiness in support of U.S. Army operations. Today, the 3rd Battalion, 17th Field Artillery upholds its legacy of excellence, supporting joint and combined arms operations wherever deployed.
