7:13th Artillery

The 7th Battalion, 13th Artillery (7/13th Artillery) was a United States Army artillery unit originally constituted during World War II and later activated for service in the Vietnam War. Deployed to Vietnam in 1966, the 7/13th Artillery provided critical fire support to American and allied forces, operating primarily in the III and IV Corps Tactical Zones. The battalion utilized 155mm and 175mm self-propelled howitzers, delivering both counter-battery and direct support fire in numerous major operations. After distinguished service and heavy action throughout its deployment, the unit was inactivated following the drawdown of U.S. forces from Vietnam.
