Unit History

64th Coast Artillery Regiment (Anti-Aircraft) 1940–1947 (World War II) The 64th Coast Artillery Regiment (Anti-Aircraft) was constituted in the Regular Army on 21 May 1917 and organized at Fort Totten, New York. During World War II, the regiment was reorganized and redesignated as an anti-aircraft artillery unit, reflecting the growing importance of air defense in modern warfare. The 64th served in the Pacific Theater, providing critical anti-aircraft protection for U.S. forces during major campaigns. The regiment participated in operations in the Central Pacific, including the defense of key bases and support of amphibious assaults. Following the end of hostilities, the regiment was inactivated in 1946 as part of the postwar drawdown of coastal and anti-aircraft artillery units.
