4:8th FA

The 4th Battalion, 8th Field Artillery Regiment (4/8th FA) traces its origins to the 8th Field Artillery Regiment, which was constituted in 1916 in the Regular Army. The battalion has served with distinction in major conflicts, including World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, providing vital fire support to maneuver units. During the Cold War, the 4/8th FA was stationed in Europe as part of the U.S. Army's forward-deployed forces, contributing to NATO's deterrence posture. In more recent years, the unit has participated in operations in the Middle East, continuing its tradition of excellence and adaptability in support of U.S. military objectives.
