15th Coast Artillery Regiment (Harbor Defense) 1940–1947 (World War II) The 15th Coast Artillery Regiment was constituted in the Regular Army on 27 February 1924 and organized on 1 July 1924 at Fort Kamehameha, Hawaii. The regiment was responsible for the harbor defenses of Pearl Harbor and other strategic locations in the Hawaiian Islands. During World War II, the 15th Coast Artillery played a critical role in the defense of Oahu, manning coastal artillery batteries and anti-aircraft positions during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. The regiment continued to provide harbor defense throughout the war, adapting to evolving threats and technological advancements. The 15th Coast Artillery Regiment was inactivated on 1 February 1947 as part of the postwar drawdown and reorganization of U.S. Army coastal artillery units.
