The 78th Field Artillery Regiment is a regiment of the Field Artillery Branch of the United States Army. Initially activated on 1 July 1916, the 78th Field Artillery Battalion did not see action in World War I, but would later be reactivated at the start of World War II and participate in the campaigns for Algeria-French Morocco, Sicily, Normandy, Northern France, Ardennes-Alsace, Central Europe, and the Rhineland with the 2d Armored Division. The 78th Artillery Battalion's six batteries were reorganized into separate battalions in 1957, with the 1st Battalion, 78th Field Artillery being the only remaining active unit of the 78th Field Artillery.
The 1st Battalion, 78th Field Artillery is assigned to the 428th Field Artillery Brigade, and conducts Initial Entry Training in order to provide the Army with combat ready Field Artillery Soldiers.
