245th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion 1940–1947 (World War II) The 245th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion was constituted and activated during World War II as part of the U.S. Army’s rapid expansion of air defense forces. The battalion was organized to provide anti-aircraft protection for critical military assets and formations, reflecting the increasing threat posed by enemy aircraft during the conflict. It participated in the European Theater of Operations, supporting Allied ground and air operations by defending against German air attacks. Following the end of hostilities in Europe, the battalion was inactivated as part of the postwar drawdown of anti-aircraft units.
