81st FA

The 81st Field Artillery (FA) traces its origins to its constitution in the Regular Army on 1 July 1916. Activated during World War I, the unit provided crucial artillery support in several key operations, later serving with distinction during World War II in campaigns across North Africa and Europe. The 81st FA has undergone several reorganizations and redesignations, adapting to evolving battlefield requirements throughout the Cold War and into the modern era. Today, the unit continues its legacy of excellence, supporting U.S. Army operations with advanced artillery capabilities.
