78th Artillery

The 78th Artillery, originally constituted during World War I, served as a key field artillery unit in the U.S. Army. The unit was activated in 1918 and participated in several major campaigns in France before being demobilized after the war. Reactivated during World War II, the 78th Artillery provided critical fire support in the European Theater, notably during the Battle of the Bulge. Post-war, the unit underwent several reorganizations and redesignations, continuing to serve in various capacities as part of the Army’s artillery forces through the Cold War and beyond.
