Coast Artillery Companies 1901-1924 Reference Guide 433 Coast Artillery Companies 1901-1924 Bolling W. Smith The following listing of serially numbered companies of coast artillery gives their locations and changes in designations from their creation in 1901 until 1924, when the separate company numbers were finally abolished. This list is best used in conjunction with “Coast Artillery Organization: A Brief Overview,” in the May 2008 Coast Defense Journal (Vol. 22 No. 2). Redesignations were effective in the year shown. The year shown for locations indicates that the company was at the new post in that year, but could have arrived there during the previous year. Units in parentheses in the headings indicate the units from which the companies were formed, either by redesignation of lettered companies of the seven artillery regiments in 1901, or by splitting existing companies of coast artillery. 1st Company (A/1st Artillery) 1916 – Fort Wint, PI 1901 – Fort Dade, FL 1917 – 13th Company, CD Manila & Subic Bays 1902 – Fort De Soto, FL 1917 – Fort Mills, PI 1907 – Fort Armstrong, TH 1922 – 4th Company, CAC 1908 – Fort Levett, ME 1924 – D/1st CA Regiment (HD), inactive 1910 – Fort McKinley, ME 1916 – Temp., Fort Sam Houston 5th Company (F/1st Artillery) 1916 – 1st Company, Fort McKinley, ME 1901 – Fort Screven, GA 1917 – 1st Company, CD Portland 1907 – Fort Williams, ME 1917 – A/6 Provisional Artillery Regiment 1916 – 2nd Company, Fort Williams, ME 1918 – A/51st Artillery Regiment, CAC 1917 – H/6th Provisional Artillery Regiment, CAC 1922 – 1st Company, CAC (additional designation) 1918 – H/51st Artillery Regiment, CAC 1924 – A/51st CA Regiment (TD), Fort Eustis, VA 1922 – 5th Company, CAC (additional designation) 1924 – F/43rd Artillery Regiment (Ry), inactive 2nd Company (B/1st Artillery) 1901 – Fort Trumbull, CT 6th Company (G/1st Artillery) 1903 – Fort H.G.

  • Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S
    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

  • Decision at Fort Sumter
    -·-~• .}:}· ~- ·-.:: • r. • • i DECISION AT FORT SUMTER Prologue In 1846 Congressman JeffeLson Davis of Mississippi presented to the House of Representatives a resolution calling for the replace- ment of Federal troops in all coastal forts by state militia. The proposal died in committee and shortly thereafter Davis resigned from Congress to lead the red-shirted First Mississippi Rifles to war and (~~-ll glory in Mexico. Now it was the morning of April 10, 1861, and Davis was President of the newly proclaimed Confederate States of America. As he met with his cabinet in a Montgomery, Alabama hotel room he had good reason to regret the failure of that resolution of fifteen years ago. For had it passed, he would not have had to make the decision he was about to make: Order Brigadier General P. G. T. Beauregard, commander of Confederate forces at Charleston, South Carolina to demand the surrender of the Federal garrison on Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor. But before Davis made this decision, other men had made other decisions -- decisions which formed a trail leading to that Montgomery hotel room on the morning of April 10, 1861. The War Department'~cision In a sense the first of those decisions went back to 1829 when the War Department dumped tons of granite rubble brougi1t from New England on a c.andspit at the mouth of Charleston harbor. On the foundation so formed a fort named after the South Carolina r - 2 - Revolutionary War hero, Thomas Sumter, was built. However it was built very slowly, as Congress appropriated the needed money in driblets.

Orientation. a. Geographical. The entrance to Manila Bay is guarded by 4 islands. (1) Corregidor - (Fort Mills) (2) Caballo - (Fort Hughes) (3) El Fraile - (Fort Drum) (4) Carabao - (Fort Frank) b. Tactical Command. The tactical command at the beginning of World War II was known as the Harbor Defenses of Manila and Subic Bays. This report deals with Manila Bay only. The defenses were divided into two parts, the ?? Command and the Seaward Defenses Command. Under the Seaward Defense Command were groups I, II, III and IV. (There were no groupments). The mission of the Seaward Defense Command was "to deny the enemy the use of Manila Bay and to protect the detachment of our Navy therefrom". 2. Fort Drum - Description and Organization. a. Fort Drum was constructed on the small island of El Fraile in the channel of Manila Bay in 1913, and was termed the "Concrete Battleship". The entire top of the original island was cut away to below the surface of the water. On this foundation, the reinforced concrete fort was constructed. When completed, it was 350 feet long by 144 feet wide and the main top deck extended 40 feet above mean low water. The general outline of the hull, as seen from above, resembled a ship with the pointed bow toward the China Sea. The exterior walls of the fort were approximately 20 feet thick, of reinforced concrete.
