52nd Coast Artillery Regiment (Railroad) 1940–1947 (World War II) The 52nd Coast Artillery Regiment (Railroad) was constituted in the Regular Army and activated during World War II to provide railway-mounted coastal defense artillery. The regiment was equipped with heavy railway guns designed to defend key coastal installations and harbors against enemy naval threats. Throughout the war, the 52nd Coast Artillery operated along the U.S. coastline, primarily tasked with the protection of strategic ports and military facilities. The regiment did not see overseas combat but played a vital role in continental defense during the conflict. Following the end of World War II, the 52nd Coast Artillery Regiment was inactivated as the need for coastal artillery diminished with changing military technology and strategy.
