198th Coast Artillery Regiment (Anti-Aircraft) 1940–1947 (World War II) The 198th Coast Artillery Regiment (Anti-Aircraft) was constituted in the Delaware National Guard and federally recognized on 1 September 1939, with headquarters at Wilmington, Delaware. The regiment was inducted into federal service on 16 September 1940 as part of the U.S. Army’s prewar mobilization. Initially assigned to the defense of the continental United States, the 198th was later deployed to the Pacific Theater during World War II. The regiment participated in the defense of Hawaii and other Pacific locations, providing anti-aircraft protection against Japanese air attacks. The 198th Coast Artillery was inactivated following the end of hostilities, with its elements reorganized or redesignated as part of the postwar restructuring of Army air defense units.
