Unit History

The 203rd Coast Artillery Regiment (Anti-Aircraft) was a unit of the United States Army National Guard. It was originally organized in 1924 as part of the Missouri National Guard, with its headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri. The regiment was tasked with providing anti-aircraft defense and was part of the broader Coast Artillery Corps, which was responsible for coastal and anti-aircraft defense in the United States. During World War II, the 203rd Coast Artillery Regiment was federalized and served in various capacities, including the defense of key installations and areas within the continental United States. The regiment underwent several reorganizations and redesignations during its service, reflecting the evolving needs of the Army's air defense mission. After the war, the unit was eventually inactivated as part of the postwar drawdown and restructuring of the Army's air defense forces. Sources: Wikipedia.
