5th 155 Gun Battery

The 5th 155 Gun Battery was a field artillery unit equipped with 155mm towed guns, traditionally providing long-range fire support for infantry and armored formations. The battery was activated during periods of heightened military need, notably serving with distinction in World War II and subsequent conflicts. Its personnel were trained in the operation, maintenance, and rapid deployment of heavy artillery, often supporting divisional-level offensives and defensive operations. The 5th 155 Gun Battery earned commendations for accuracy and reliability, contributing significantly to combined arms victories before eventual deactivation as part of broader force restructuring.
