- 116th_Field_Artillery_Regiment abstract "The 116th Field Artillery is a regiment of the Florida National Guard. Currently there are two battalions; 2-116th FA is subordinate to the 53rd Brigade Combat Team, and 3-116th (HIMARS) is subordinate to the 138th Field Artillery Brigade of the Kentucky Army National Guard.History of the 116th Field Artillery:"The 116th Field Artillery has had a singular history in the period covered since the date of its organization in Florida. Perhaps no regiment of the Florida National Guard within the United States has had such dramatic calls upon its services. Woven into the pattern of everyday life, the work of the peacetime soldier calls forth little notice from the general public. However, when disaster threatens the structure of the commonwealth, either man-made, or by the hand of Providence, the National Guard steps promptly into the breach, and, with a steady hand firmly applied, brings aid and comfort to the stricken and punishment to the law breaker." (From the official regimental history, compiled by Lietenant Colonel George E. Grace, Florida National Guard)This regiment was originally organized during the World War at Camp Wheeler, Georgia as part of the 31st (Dixie) Division. Although transported overseas it saw no combat action and was mustered from Federal service on January 16, 1919. On December 5, 1921 Sumter L. Lowry Jr. of Tampa, Florida upon commission issued by the Adjutant General, State of Florida presented for Federal Recognition three batteries to constitute units of a regiment to be known as the 116th Field Artillery. Thus on December 5, 1921 three firing batteries, A, B, and C formed the basis of the First Battalion 116th Field Artillery. Major Sumter L. Lowry Jr. commanding. The battalion was inspected and mustered into service by then Lieutenant Colonel Vivian Collins present Adjutant General of Florida. Completion of the First Battalion was effected February 15, 1922 with the establishment of Headquarters Battery and Combat Train First Battalion.
