108th Field Artillery Regiment 1914–1921 (World War I) The 108th Field Artillery Regiment traces its origins to the Pennsylvania National Guard, with roots dating back to the late 19th century. During World War I, the regiment was federalized and assigned to the 28th Division. It deployed to France as part of the American Expeditionary Forces, where it participated in major campaigns including the Champagne-Marne, Aisne-Marne, Oise-Aisne, Meuse-Argonne, and Champagne 1918 offensives. The regiment provided critical artillery support during these operations, contributing to the division’s reputation for effectiveness in combat. Following the Armistice, the 108th Field Artillery returned to the United States and was demobilized in 1919. 1922–1939 (Interwar Period) After World War I, the 108th Field Artillery was reorganized and federally recognized as part of the Pennsylvania National Guard. Throughout the interwar years, the regiment maintained its association with the 28th Division, participating in annual training exercises and supporting state and federal missions. 1940–1947 (World War II) The 108th Field Artillery Regiment was inducted into federal service in February 1941 as part of the 28th Infantry Division. During World War II, the regiment was redesignated as the 108th Field Artillery Battalion. It deployed to the European Theater, where it participated in key campaigns including Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. The battalion provided artillery support during the division’s advance across France and into Germany, playing a significant role in the Battle of the Bulge and the final push into Central Europe. The unit was inactivated in 1945 following the end of hostilities. 1948–1957 (Early Cold War / Korea) Postwar, the 108th Field Artillery was reorganized and federally recognized within the Pennsylvania National Guard. During the Korean War era, the regiment remained stateside, focusing on training and readiness missions in support of national defense.
