49th FA

The 49th Field Artillery (FA) was first constituted in the Regular Army of the United States in 1918 and organized at Camp Sheridan, Alabama. During World War I, the unit was quickly mobilized but did not see overseas combat before the Armistice. Reactivated for World War II, the 49th FA provided crucial artillery support in the European Theater, participating in several key campaigns. Over the years, the unit underwent multiple reorganizations and redesignations, continuing to serve with distinction in both peacetime and during subsequent conflicts, upholding its artillery traditions.
