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.

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. Nowhere is the use of field artillery better demonstrated than during Operation OVERLORD, the campaign to invade Northern Europe in June of 1944. Historians have however generally ignored the use of field artillery during Operation OVERLORD, instead understandably choosing to concentrate on the D-Day Allied landings on the Normandy beaches, an operation that represents one of the most dramatic days in the history of modern warfare. Those historians that do address the following Normandy Campaign (the Campaign) to gain an Allied foothold in Northern Europe address the campaign more from the perspective of the invading Allied infantry, while largely ignoring the contribution made by the field artillery.
