Hq 940th Btry FA Bn

The Headquarters, 940th Field Artillery Battalion (Hq 940th Btry FA Bn) was constituted during World War II as part of the United States Army's effort to expand its artillery capabilities. Activated in 1943, the unit provided critical fire support for infantry and armored operations in the European Theater, participating in key campaigns such as the Rhineland and Central Europe. The battalion was equipped with medium to heavy artillery pieces and played a vital role in suppressing enemy positions and supporting Allied advances. After the war, the 940th was inactivated as part of the Army's postwar demobilization but left a legacy of effective combat support and professionalism.
