4 battalion 1st field artillery

The 4th Battalion, 1st Field Artillery Regiment traces its lineage back to the original 1st Regiment of Artillery, constituted in 1821. Throughout its distinguished service, the battalion participated in major conflicts including the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, World War II, and the Gulf War. Reactivated and reorganized several times, the unit has provided direct and general support artillery fires in both conventional and counterinsurgency operations. Today, 4-1 Field Artillery remains an integral part of the U.S. Army’s firepower, upholding its motto "First or Not at All."
