The 142nd Artillery Brigade Strengthens Capabilities with New Battery and Equipment Acquisition
The 142nd Field Artillery Brigade, headquartered in Fayetteville, Arkansas, has significantly enhanced its capabilities by acquiring a new battery and state-of-the-art equipment. This strategic move aims to bolster the brigade’s precision field artillery support for various combat teams and emergency operations.
As part of this acquisition, the 142nd Field Artillery Brigade now includes units stationed across Northwest Arkansas, Alabama, and Tennessee. This expanded presence ensures a higher level of preparedness for both state emergencies and federal missions. The Brigade continues to provide critical field artillery support for both Corps, Divisions, and Brigade Combat Teams.
The acquisition is in line with the brigade’s dual mission: providing precision field artillery support for federal missions, while remaining postured to assist in state emergencies. This duality makes the 142nd Field Artillery Brigade a vital component of the National Guard’s overall readiness.
The 142nd Field Artillery Brigade’s long history, dating back to its origins as Battery B, 142nd Field Artillery in World War I, underscores its commitment to adapting to evolving military needs. Throughout its history, the Brigade has consistently demonstrated its ability to reorganize, redeploy, and modernize to meet the demands of different conflicts and peacekeeping efforts.
