BTRY A 3:76 ARTY USAREUR

Battery A, 3rd Battalion, 76th Artillery (BTRY A 3/76 ARTY) served as part of the United States Army Europe (USAREUR) during the Cold War era. The unit was equipped with field artillery, providing fire support to U.S. and NATO ground forces stationed in West Germany as part of America’s forward-deployed defense against potential Warsaw Pact aggression. BTRY A 3/76 ARTY participated in numerous field exercises and readiness operations, enhancing deterrence and alliance cooperation throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The battery remained a vital component of USAREUR's artillery strength until later reorganizations and drawdowns following the end of the Cold War.
