Unit History
As a separate battalion of the 204th Field Artillery Group, the 284th's three firing batteries and combined headquarters and service batteries were built on a foundation of seasoned NCOs — skeleton crews dispatched from overseas to ensure thorough, practical training. Their service in the European Theater stands as a testament to American artillery excellence in WWII.
