Where was the 208 field artillery battalion in world war 2?
I checked the artillery assigned to the Infantry Divisions and the 208 Field Artillery Battalion was NOT part of an infantry division. This means they were either a separate battalion assigned to an Army or a Corps. I did find reference to the 208 Field Artillery Group. An artillery regiment or a group were a higher level of command for several battalions. It was more of an administrative organization. However, some of these units were re-organized and re-identified from a regiment to a Battalion.
Why was field artillery so important?
The field artillery is called the King of the battle. The US infantry Division had 3 battalion of infantry and 4 battalions of artillery; with one battalion being heavy artillery. The infantry called upon the artillery to clear away any enemy resistance and especially heavily defended positions, such as concrete bunkers. The infantry battalions had supporting companies of heavy weapons that included light cannon and heavy machine guns and mortars. The mortars were used in close support. But also the Field Artillery was used also in support of the infantry. They could fire over their heads with great accuracy. The American's Field Artillery had a system of fire that was unique from the Germans. They aligned each of the cannons in a battery so they were aligned to fire in the same target. This allowed them to locate a target and fire with only 1 gun to establish the range. Then all 6 guns could fire and hit the same target. The Germans thought the Americans had an automatic firing cannon.
