284th Field Artillery Battalion
The 284th Field Artillery Battalion was formally activated on June 25, 1943.
As a separate Battalion of the 204th F. A. Group, its three firing batteries and combined headquarters and service batteries each had an
excellent cadre. These skeleton crews of experienced non-commissioned officers were sent from overseas, to insure the thorough practical
training of the battalion.
The commanding officer of the 284th FA BN., a West Point graduate, was Lt. Col. Francis C. Foster, who has served in the Hawaiian Islands,
in Panama, as well as in many posts in the United States.
The 284th FA BN was a new organization, its history lying before it. Unlike many reserve or National Guard groups which existed as "paper
organizations" during peace time, the 284th was first constituted on the active list February 25, 1943.
The cadre came from the three light battalions of the triangularized 27th Infantry Division; the 249th, the 104th, and the 105th Battalions.
Previously, when the 27th Infantry was a square division, all cadre men belonged to the 104th and 105th Artillery Regiments.
