It’s a common challenge encountered by 2nd Infantry Division Soldiers during wintertime. Policies limit the amount of Soldiers that can take holiday leave, and due to time differences, it’s difficult to make phone calls to loved ones in the states.

Coat of Arms Crest CONSTITUTION

The 6th Battalion, 37th Field Artillery Regiment can trace its history back to 5 July 1918 when the 37th Field Artillery Regiment was organized at Camp Lewis, Washington. The Regiment was demobilized on 11 February 1919. On 1 October 1940 it was reactivated and designated as a truck-drawn 105mm howitzer battalion at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

HISTORY/2ID RELATIONSHIP

The 37th Field Artillery Battalion was assigned to the 2nd Infantry Division during World War II and participated in the following campaigns: Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes, Alsace, and Central Europe. Three hundred and thirty days and 198,000 rounds af- ter D-Day, World War II ended for the 37th Field Artillery near Pilsen, Czechoslovakia. In the years following World War II, the Battalion remained with the 2nd Infantry Division at Fort Lewis, Washington, as a general reserve unit.

During the Korean Conflict, the Battalion landed at Pusan on 4 August 1950 with the 26th Infantry Division and fought in the battles of Heart Break Ridge, Old Baldy, T-Bone Hill and Pork Chop Hill. During the 4 years of action, the Battalion participated in the following ac- tions: UN Offensive, UN Summer Fall Offensive, Second Korean Winter, Korean Summer Fall 1952, Third Korean Winter and Korean Summer Fall 1953.

After the Korean Conflict, the Battalion was again stationed with the 2nd Infantry Division at Fort Lewis and later at Fort Richardson, Alaska. While in Alaska, the 37th Field Artillery Battalion was relieved 20 June 1957 from assignment to the 2nd Infantry Division and concur- rently reorganized and redesignated as the 37th Artillery, a parent regiment under the Combat Arms Regimental System. Its individual companies were either inactivated or redesignated as Headquarters and Headquarters Batteries of newly activated battalions in the Regiment. 6th Battalion, 37th Field Artillery was activated on 2 May 1960 at Fort Benning, Georgia, and in August 1965 returned with the 2nd Infantry Division to Korea. 36 THE INDIANHEAD
