Recent editing (21 August 2007) by Philip S. Notestine, Editor, The Spur newsletter of the 117th Cavalry Association. ************************************************************************************************* From August 9, 1921 through November 16, 1940, the 102nd Cavalry had been a unit of the 21st Cavalry Division. In November of 1940, after two years of experimenting in a search for a highly mobile ground reconnaissance force, the War Department selected seven National Guard and two Regular Army Cavalry Regiments to be reorganized as "Horse-Mechanized Cavalry". With a new National Emergency in sight, and mobilization already under way, the "Essex Troop" was honored to be one of those selected. So it was that on the 16th of November 1940, the 102nd was reorganized as the 102nd Cavalry Horse/Mechanized and relieved from assignment to the 21st Cavalry Division. It was from the 102nd Cavalry Regiment that the 117th would later be created. On January 6, 1941 The 102nd Cavalry Regiment, New Jersey National Guard was ordered into Federal Service for what was to be one year. On that day, all troops reported to their respective Armories to prepare for shipment to Fort Jackson, S.C.

    Southern New Hampshire University Firing For Effect, The Use of Field Artillery in the Normandy Campaign A Capstone Project Submitted to the College of Online and Continuing Education in Partial Fulfillment of the Master of Arts in History By David F. Lloyd Framingham, Massachusetts September 2018 Copyright © 2018 by David F. Lloyd All Rights Reserved ii Student: David F. Lloyd I certify that this student has met the requirements for formatting the capstone project and that this project is suitable for preservation in the University Archive. September 20, 2018 __________________________________________ _______________ Southern New Hampshire University Date College of Online and Continuing Education iii Abstract Unlike today’s global political situation, World War II was a time of great cooperation between nations, the Allies that encountered and defeated the Axis powers in Europe and the Japanese in the Pacific basin. This cooperation extended down to the battlefield, where individual types of military units operated in concert with each other to present an integrated front to their adversaries. Field artillery units represented one component of this highly-integrated battlefield, contributing heavily to Allied victories around the globe.
