"...2nd Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery Regiment<br /> "Gunners" <br /><br />In January 1991, the Battalion deployed to Saudi Arabia as the direct support battalion for the 1st Brigade "Ready First" Combat Team, 3rd Armored Division in first Operation Desert Shield and then Operation Desert Storm. The Battalion was located in Tactical Assembly Area Henry until 19 February 1991, when the battalion moved to Forward Assembly Area Butts with the 3rd Armored Division. On 24 February 1991, the Battalion moved across the Iraqi border in support of Operation Desert Storm. During the first 2 days, the Battalion moved into enemy territory, picking up a reinforcing battalion, the 2nd Battalion, 29th Field Artillery en route.<br /><br />On 26 February 1991, the "Ready First" Combat Team encountered the enemy for the first time and the Gunners fired their first round at the enemy since 1945. During the war, the Battalion fired 1467 rounds in operations against the Republican Guard, including the Battle of 73 Easting.Don Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230631364253238804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-7811172357814482572012-05-01T19:01:34.091+01:002012-05-01T19:01:34.091+01:00Stephen Thomas
