519th FA

The 519th Field Artillery (FA) traces its origins to World War II, when it was constituted and activated to provide artillery support to infantry operations in the European Theater. The unit distinguished itself in several key campaigns, delivering effective fire support during major offensives and earning commendations for its accuracy and resilience under fire. Following the war, the 519th FA underwent several reorganizations as part of the Army Reserve, adapting to new artillery technologies and tactics through the Cold War era. Today, the 519th FA continues its legacy of excellence, serving as a vital component of the United States Army’s field artillery branch.
