43rd ARTY

The 43rd Artillery (43rd ARTY) was originally constituted in the Regular Army as the 43rd Coast Artillery in 1918 and has undergone several reorganizations and redesignations throughout its history. During World War II, the unit served in the Pacific Theater, providing critical anti-aircraft and coastal defense. After the war, the regiment was inactivated and reactivated multiple times, adapting to the evolving needs of the U.S. Army. In the Cold War era, the 43rd Artillery was re-designated as a field artillery unit, supporting both training and operational missions before its final inactivation.
