594th Field Artillery Battalion

The 594th Field Artillery Battalion was an artillery unit of the United States Army that was activated during World War II. Organized in 1943, the battalion was equipped with 155mm howitzers and provided crucial fire support for infantry and armored divisions in the European Theater of Operations. The 594th participated in key campaigns including Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe, contributing to the Allied advance against German forces. After the war, the battalion was inactivated as part of the postwar drawdown, but its legacy endures through its distinguished service during the conflict.
