84th Field Artillery Regiment 1940–1947 (World War II) The 84th Field Artillery Regiment was originally constituted on 1 July 1917 in the National Army as the 84th Field Artillery and assigned to the 13th Division. It was organized at Camp Lewis, Washington, but did not see overseas service during World War I. The regiment was demobilized in 1919 following the end of the war. Reactivated during World War II, the regiment underwent several reorganizations and redesignations, with elements serving as separate battalions. The 84th Field Artillery Battalion, as part of the 9th Infantry Division, participated in major campaigns in the European Theater, including Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe. The battalion was inactivated in Germany in 1946 following the conclusion of hostilities. 1948–1957 (Early Cold War / Korea) During the early Cold War period, the 84th Field Artillery Battalion was reactivated and assigned to the 9th Infantry Division. The unit remained stateside, focusing on training and readiness, and did not deploy to Korea as a battalion during the Korean War. It continued to serve as part of the Army’s evolving artillery structure during this era. 1958–1980 (Cold War / Vietnam Era) The 84th Field Artillery underwent further reorganizations under the Combat Arms Regimental System. Elements of the regiment served in various artillery battalions, with some units seeing service in Vietnam. The 2nd Battalion, 84th Artillery, for example, provided fire support in Vietnam, participating in multiple campaigns and earning commendations for its service. 1980–Present (Post-Vietnam / GWOT) The lineage of the 84th Field Artillery Regiment continues through its successor battalions, which have served in various capacities within the U.S. Army. Elements of the regiment have participated in training, readiness, and operational deployments, including service during the Global War on Terror.
