The 1st 155mm Gun Battalion (Self-Propelled), stationed at 29 Palms, California, was a U.S. Army artillery unit active during the Cold War era. Equipped with self-propelled 155mm guns, the battalion provided heavy fire support for maneuver units during training exercises and potential combat operations. Based at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, the unit played a key role in joint Army-Marine Corps artillery cooperation in the desert environment. The battalion’s mission focused on rapid, mobile artillery response, contributing significantly to the development of combined-arms tactics in the post–World War II period.
