The 241st Coast Artillery Regiment was a unit of the United States Army organized for the purpose of harbor defense. The regiment was part of the Coast Artillery Corps and was responsible for the defense of key harbors along the United States coastline, particularly during periods of heightened military activity. The 241st Coast Artillery Regiment was activated to provide fixed and mobile artillery support, operating large coastal guns and other defensive installations to protect against naval threats. The unit played a significant role in the coastal defense system, especially during World War II, when the threat of enemy naval operations along the U.S. coast was a major concern. The regiment was eventually inactivated as advances in military technology and changes in defense strategy rendered traditional coastal artillery units obsolete.
