36th FA

The 36th Field Artillery (FA) was first constituted in the Regular Army on July 5, 1918, as the 36th Field Artillery and organized at Camp McClellan, Alabama. Although demobilized shortly after World War I, it was reactivated before World War II and served with distinction in the European Theater, providing crucial artillery support in major campaigns such as Normandy and the Rhineland. Throughout the Cold War and into the modern era, the 36th FA has undergone several reorganizations and redesignations, adapting to evolving military needs. Today, the unit upholds its legacy of excellence and readiness as part of the United States Army’s artillery forces.
