73rd FA

The 73rd Field Artillery (FA) traces its origins to its constitution in the National Army on 5 July 1918 during World War I, where it served as part of the 13th Division. Reactivated and reorganized multiple times throughout the 20th century, the unit provided crucial fire support in both World War II and the Korean War. Over its history, the 73rd FA underwent several redesignations, most notably as the 73rd Field Artillery Battalion and later as part of the 3rd Infantry Division Artillery. Its distinguished service is marked by campaign participation credits and decorations for valor and meritorious achievement. The unit remains a proud symbol of the U.S. Army’s artillery heritage.
