Equipped primarily with 155mm self-propelled howitzers, the battalion participated in major campaigns such as the Tet Offensive and the defense of Fire Support Bases. The 6/12th Artillery earned multiple commendations for its service before being inactivated following the drawdown of U.S. forces in Vietnam.
