The 1st Battalion, 78th Field Artillery Regiment (1/78th FA) traces its lineage to the 78th Field Artillery, originally constituted in 1916 as part of the Regular Army. The unit participated in major conflicts including World War II, providing crucial artillery support in the European Theater. In the postwar era, the 1/78th FA served various roles, adapting to the Army’s evolving needs and supporting both training and operational missions. Currently, the battalion is stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where it functions as a key training unit for artillery soldiers in the U.S. Army.
