      The 319th Field Artillery Regiment traces its lineage to World War I and has served for generations as a principal artillery regiment of U.S. airborne forces. From its service with the 82nd Division in France to glider operations in World War II and modern airborne artillery missions, the regiment has remained closely tied to the All American Division and, through 4-319, the 173rd Airborne Brigade.

      The regiment was constituted on 5 August 1917 in the National Army as the 319th Field Artillery and assigned to the 82nd Division. It served in France during World War I, including the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne campaigns.

      World War II – Glider Field Artillery

      In 1942, the unit was reorganized as the 319th Glider Field Artillery Battalion and assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division. It served in the Mediterranean theater, entered Normandy by glider during Operation Overlord, participated in Operation Market Garden in the Netherlands, and fought in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge.

      Postwar Airborne Service

      After World War II, the 319th went through a series of redesignations and reorganizations as the Army adapted its airborne artillery structure. Its battalions continued to support the 82nd Airborne Division and other airborne formations.

      Dominican Republic and Grenada

      Elements of the regiment served during Operation Power Pack in the Dominican Republic in 1965. During Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada in 1983, 82nd Airborne artillery elements supported combat operations after the division airlanded on the island. The 82nd Airborne Division did not conduct a mass combat parachute assault into Grenada.

      Operation Just Cause

      In Operation Just Cause in Panama in 1989, airborne artillery elements of the 82nd Airborne Division participated in the combat parachute assault and subsequent ground operations.

      Gulf War and Global War on Terror

      319th Field Artillery battalions deployed during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm and later served repeatedly in Iraq and Afghanistan in support of the Global War on Terror.
