It was activated for service and participated in the European Theater, providing artillery support in several campaigns. The unit contributed to operations in Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. Following the end of hostilities, the regiment was inactivated in 1945 as part of the postwar drawdown.
