120th Field Artillery Regiment 1914–1921 (World War I) The 120th Field Artillery Regiment was organized in 1917 as part of the Wisconsin National Guard and assigned to the 32nd Division. The regiment was federalized for service in World War I, deploying to France with the American Expeditionary Forces. It participated in several major campaigns, including the Aisne-Marne, Oise-Aisne, Meuse-Argonne, and Champagne 1918 offensives. Following the Armistice, the regiment returned to the United States and was demobilized in 1919. 1922–1939 (Interwar Period) Reconstituted in the Wisconsin National Guard, the 120th Field Artillery Regiment was federally recognized in the early 1920s. During the interwar years, the regiment maintained its association with the 32nd Division, participating in annual training and readiness activities. 1940–1947 (World War II) The regiment was inducted into federal service in 1940 as part of the prewar mobilization. During World War II, the 120th Field Artillery was reorganized and redesignated as the 120th Field Artillery Battalion, remaining assigned to the 32nd Infantry Division. The battalion served in the Pacific Theater, participating in campaigns in New Guinea, Leyte, and Luzon. After the war, the battalion was inactivated in Japan in 1946.
