During World War II, the unit was reorganized and redesignated as the 1st Field Artillery Battalion on 1 October 1940. Assigned to the 6th Infantry Division, the battalion participated in the Pacific Theater, including campaigns in New Guinea, Luzon, and the Southern Philippines. The battalion provided critical artillery support during amphibious assaults and jungle operations, contributing to the division’s successful advances. Following the end of hostilities, the 1st Field Artillery Battalion was inactivated on 25 January 1949 in Korea.
