The 75th Field Artillery (FA) Regiment was constituted in the Regular Army of the United States in 1918 and served with distinction during World War I and World War II. The unit provided critical artillery support in major European campaigns, including the Normandy invasion and the push across France and Germany. During the Cold War, the 75th FA adapted to evolving military technology and was reorganized several times to support armored and infantry units. Today, its lineage and honors are perpetuated by active and reserve artillery battalions, reflecting a proud tradition of service and battlefield excellence.
