History
The unit was first constituted 19 November 1917 as Headquarters Battery, 4th Field Artillery Brigade, and assigned to the 4th Infantry Division. The unit was organized for combat operations at Camp Greene, North Carolina from 15 December 1917 to 10 January 1918. In the winter of 1918, the 4th Field Artillery Brigade departed for World War I in Europe.
Upon returning stateside, the 4th Field Artillery Brigade was stationed at Camp Lewis, Washington, where it was inactivated 21 September 1921. 4th Field Artillery Brigade was redesignated as Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 4th Field Artillery Brigade at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, 1 January 1935, and then disbanded 14 November 1939. Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 4th Field Artillery was reconstituted 10 September 1940 as Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 4th Division Artillery (DIVARTY). Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 4th Division Artillery was activated 1 October 1940 at Fort Benning, Georgia. The unit participated in multiple campaigns of World War II. The 4th Division Artillery was inactivated 5 March 1946, at Camp Butler, North Carolina.
