55th Coast Artillery Regiment (Mobile) 1940–1947 (World War II) The 55th Coast Artillery Regiment (Mobile) was constituted in the Regular Army and activated on 1 February 1940 at Fort Monroe, Virginia. As a mobile coast artillery unit, its primary mission was to provide anti-aircraft and coastal defense for key installations in the United States during World War II. The regiment was equipped with mobile artillery designed to counter both naval and aerial threats. Throughout the war, the 55th Coast Artillery Regiment was stationed at various locations along the U.S. coastline, adapting to evolving defense needs as the threat of enemy attack shifted. The regiment was inactivated on 1 May 1944 as part of a broader reorganization of coastal defense forces, reflecting the reduced threat to the continental United States and the Army’s shifting focus to overseas operations.
