HISTORY of the 17Th ARTILLERY Compiled from Different Sources and References, Edited by Thomas R
Updated June 2020 COAT OF ARMS HISTORY OF THE 17th ARTILLERY Compiled from different sources and references, Edited by Thomas R. Kurtz In compliance with War Department directive dated May 14, 1917, the 17th Field Artillery Regiment was activated, by the transferring a cadre of officers and enlisted men from the 1st Battalion, 8th Field Artillery Regiment, Fort Bliss, Texas to Camp Roberson, Wisconsin to form the nucleus of the new regiment. The 17th Field Artillery Regiment was officially activated on June 6, 1917 and entered on the official roles of the U. S. Army. WORD WAR I 17th Field Artillery Regiment After five months of intensive training the Regiment was ordered to the port of embarkation in New York. On December 14, 1917, the Regiment embarked on the U.S.S. Covington for Brest, France arriving on December 27. On December 31, 1917 the Regiment disembarked at the port of Brest and traveled to Camp Du Valdahon for addition instruction by French and American Officers. Here the Regiment was issued the French Schneider 155mm Howitzers. In March, the Regiment fired its first rounds near Rupt. On June 1, 1918, the regiment moved to the vicinity of Chateau-Thierry, were on June 4 the batteries went into positions and aided materially in stopping the German drive on Paris. After a month of severe fighting in this sector during which the Seventeenth Field Artillery participated in the successful assaults on the Bois de Billoua, Bourochos, Vaux and Hill No. 4, the regiment marched to the vicinity of Villers Cortes, where on July 18, 1918, it participated in the great Soissons offensive, the turning point of the war. -

The Buildup (1965-1967)
CHAPTER IV The Buildup (1965-1967) The Buildup Begins and Early Actions Around Saigon At 0530 on 5 May 1965, the first of 150 sorties of C-130 aircraft loaded with men and equipment of the 173d Airborne Brigade and its support elements landed at Bien Hoa Air Base in Saigon. Battalion-size elements of the U.S. Fleet Marine Force, Pacific, had been operating around Da Nang in the northern portion of South Vietnam since March, but the arrival of the 173d, consisting of two airborne infantry battalions, marked the first commitment of a U.S. Army ground combat unit in Vietnam. The brigade, under the command of Brigadier General Ellis W. Williamson, formed a defensive perimeter around the air base. In direct support of the brigade was the 3d Battalion, 319th Artillery (Airborne), a two firing-battery 105-mm. battalion commanded by Lieutenant Colo nel Lee E. Surut. Counterinsurgency operations dictated new tactics and tech niques, and, as they affected maneuver units, so they affected their supporting artillery. Although the brigade had undergone rigorous training in Okinawa before its departure for Vietnam, the "first unit in" could not be totally prepared. Nevertheless, the airborne troopers of the 173d performed admirably. No sooner had the brigade unloaded its gear than it began to conduct operations around Bien Hoa, primarily search and destroy operations and patrol actions. The men of the 319th had a "jump" of two months on fellow artillerymen, which enabled them to compile an im pressive list of firsts. The first field artillery round fired by a U.S. -

Goodwin August 2014 © 2014 Gerald F. Goodwin. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Race in the Crucible of War: African American Soldiers and Race Relations in the “Nam” by GERALD F. GOODWIN has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester Pach Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 Abstract GOODWIN, GERALD F., Ph.D., August 2014, History Race in the Crucible of War: African American Soldiers and Race Relations in the “Nam” Director of Dissertation: Chester Pach For African Americans soldiers serving in the armed forces during the Vietnam War the domestic scene loomed large. African Americans perceived racial issues—race relations, prejudice, and discrimination—in Vietnam through a lens heavily influenced by their earlier experiences in the United States. Issues related to race and race relations helped to define the African American experience in the United States, and these same issues defined the experiences of black soldiers in Vietnam. Race relations in combat were typified by cooperation, shared sacrifice, and a sense of brotherhood. These positive relations were largely a reflection of the fact that black and white soldiers in combat were heavily dependent on one another. Despite these positive interactions with whites, African Americans did not view the armed forces as an institution free of racial prejudice.
