The 83rd Field Artillery Regiment is a regiment of the Field Artillery Branch of the United States Army.
The 1st Battalion, 83rd Artillery was formed in 1966 at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.[1] The battalion departed for Vietnam in October 1966 and remained there until 1971 when the unit was stood down. In Vietnam, the 83rd was originally at Bear Cat, Nui Dat and Xuân Lộc but later moved to many other locations in Vietnam.
The battalion was associated with XXIV Corps and the 54th and 108th Artillery Groups while in Vietnam.
From 1966 to 1969 A Battery, 1st Battalion, 83rd Field Artillery was located at the 1st Australian Task Force base at Nui Dat, Phước Tuy Province and supported Australian and New Zealand operations in the region.[2][3]
