14th AAA Gun Battalion
U.S. Army
The 14th AAA Gun Battalion was an anti-aircraft artillery unit of the United States Army activated during World War II. Tasked with defending critical installations and troop concentrations from enemy air attacks, the battalion deployed to the European Theater of Operations during the war. It provided vital air defense during major campaigns, including the Normandy invasion and the subsequent push across France and into Germany. After the Allied victory in Europe, the 14th AAA Gun Battalion was deactivated as part of the postwar drawdown of U.S. forces.
