Throughout its service, the 4th Coast Artillery Regiment was responsible for manning coastal artillery batteries and providing harbor defense against potential naval threats. The regiment remained active in the Canal Zone during World War II, playing a key role in the defense of this strategic waterway. The unit was inactivated on 30 June 1946 as part of the postwar reduction of forces.
