Talk:3rd Field Artillery Regiment (United States)

Service

I served in 3/3 Field Artillery at Ft. Hood from early 1988 - Summer 1990 (we were actively de-activating in July and August of '90). I participated in the de-activation ceremony, where our battalion fired its final artillery round. I remember the round was taken to the Howitzer via HumVee. The round was resting on a red satin pillow! --Bddmagic (talk) 14:15, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

I served in the 3/3 FA and the 5/3 FA until the regiment was re-designated into the 41st FA Reg in 1990. The history on this page is so incomplete as to be a joke. The 3/3 was stationed At Ft. Knox Ky as part of the 194th Armored Brigade. The 5/3 was part of the 41st FA Brigade V Corp Artillery in Germany. No the 41st Brigade has nothing to do with the 41st FA Regiment. That was one of the reasons for the full regimental re-designation that happened in the 90s to avoid the multiple unit designations that were the same short of title such as 5/3 Artillery and 5/3 Armored which were located 5 miles apart in Germany and caused huge problems with missent EMOS messages. Regimental history is as accurate as the writer wants it to be as the various Battalions of the regiment were redesignated and reassigned at the will of various field commanders which is never authorized but none the less happened with great frequency

Will work on updating the history. Generally, I keep the regimental history through the establishment of the CARS, and then summarize further service by regimental elements, and then put detailed histories of the battalions in separate battalion articles.82redleg (talk) 01:39, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
