148th Field Artillery Battalion 1940–1947 (World War II) The 148th Field Artillery Battalion was constituted and activated as part of the U.S. Army’s expansion during World War II. The battalion was assigned to the 41st Infantry Division and served in the Pacific Theater. It participated in several major campaigns, including the New Guinea, Southern Philippines, and Luzon operations. The battalion provided critical artillery support during amphibious assaults and jungle operations, contributing to the division’s success in overcoming entrenched Japanese positions.
