Unit History

The 11th Coast Artillery Regiment was constituted on 27 February 1924 as part of the Regular Army and organized on 1 July 1924 at Fort H.G. Wright, New York. The regiment was assigned to the Harbor Defenses of Long Island Sound, providing coastal defense for the region. Throughout its service, the 11th Coast Artillery Regiment was responsible for manning and maintaining coastal artillery batteries, ensuring the security of key harbors against potential naval threats. The regiment underwent several reorganizations and redesignations during its existence, reflecting changes in coastal defense strategy and technology. The unit was inactivated on 1 April 1944 as part of the broader reorganization of coastal artillery units during World War II. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11th_Coast_Artillery_Regiment
