260th Coast Artillery Regiment (Anti-Aircraft) 1940–1947 (World War II) The 260th Coast Artillery Regiment (Anti-Aircraft) was a unit of the District of Columbia National Guard, federally recognized and activated for service during World War II. Constituted in 1924 and organized in Washington, D.C., the regiment was mobilized for active duty on 10 February 1941 as part of the U.S. Army’s expansion in anticipation of global conflict. The 260th was tasked with providing anti-aircraft defense for critical installations in the Washington, D.C. area and along the Eastern Seaboard. During the war, the regiment underwent several reorganizations and detachments, with elements serving in various coastal defense roles. The unit was inactivated on 15 December 1944 as the threat of enemy air attack diminished and the Army restructured its air defense forces.
