The unit served with distinction during World War I and World War II, providing vital artillery support in campaigns across Europe. During the Cold War, 1-77 FA was assigned to various divisions and participated in operations and training throughout Europe and the United States.

The 2nd Battalion, 39th Field Artillery Regiment (2/39th FA) was constituted on 5 July 1918 and organized at Camp McClellan, Alabama, during World War I. The unit was later inactivated and reactivated multiple times, serving prominently during World War II as part of the 3rd Infantry Division, where it participated in campaigns across North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France, and Germany. The battalion provided crucial fire support in key operations, including the liberation of Southern France and the advance into Germany. After the war, the 2/39th FA underwent several reorganizations and is currently inactivated, but its legacy endures through its distinguished combat record and numerous unit citations.
