61st Coast Artillery Battalion, Coast Artillery Corps 1940–1947 (World War II) The 61st Coast Artillery Battalion was constituted and activated during World War II as part of the United States Army Coast Artillery Corps. Its primary mission was the operation of coastal and harbor defenses, reflecting the Army’s emphasis on protecting key ports and strategic locations from enemy naval threats during the conflict. The battalion was equipped with heavy artillery designed for anti-ship and anti-aircraft roles. Like many Coast Artillery units, the 61st was inactivated following the end of World War II as the Army shifted away from fixed coastal defenses in the postwar era.
