510th FA Artillary BTN

The 510th Field Artillery Battalion (FA BTN) was activated during World War II to provide crucial artillery support for frontline infantry operations. Throughout the European Theater, the battalion was equipped with 155mm howitzers and played a significant role in major campaigns, including the Normandy landings and the Battle of the Bulge. The 510th earned commendations for its accurate and sustained fire, contributing to the success of Allied offensives. After the war, the battalion was inactivated but was later reconstituted during the Cold War era, serving as part of the U.S. Army’s reserve artillery forces.
