The 83rd Field Artillery Battalion is a descendant of the First Regiment of Cavalry, organized by an act
of Congress on June 15th, 1832 as the Battalion of Mounted Rangers, later redesignated the First
Regiment of Cavalry. On June 3, 1916, one third of the personnel of the First Cavalry became cadre for the 25th Cavalry
regiment. The 25th Cavalry was converted and redesignated the 83rd Field Artillery Regiment on
November 11, 1917, with station at Fort D.A. Russel, Wyoming. The new 83rd Field Artillery Regiment
was then assigned to the 8th Artillery Brigade of the 8th Regular Army Division.
