Fort Sill unit among U.S. Army’s oldest artillery groups
The 200th Armored Field Artillery Battalion at Fort Sill, led by Lt. Col. Donald K. Morris, traces its roots to Revolutionary War days and Civil War service with the Ninth Army Corps. Reorganized 1921 to cavalry, rebuilt as artillery in 1949, it landed on Omaha Beach June 8, 1944, and fought in major campaigns with the 1st U.S. Army and V Corps, during a 334 day combat period. The battalion, now part of the 187th Field Artillery Group, has traveled 2,500 miles in Europe and helped capture 4,806 prisoners.
