The lineage and honors for both Field Artillery and Air Defense Artillery Regiments go back to the American Revolution. In the late and early 19th century, there became a distinction between Coast Artillery and Field Artillery units, and we ended up with a Coast Artillery Branch in 1901 apart from FA. Then after WWII, the Coast Artillery became Anti-Aircraft/ADA. In 1956, the branches were combined to create the Artillery Branch, all officers wearing what is today the ADA Branch insignia.
Help us wish Field Artillery and Air Defense Artillery Soldiers a happy 246th birthday!
