The 112th Field Artillery Regiment is a Field Artillery Branch regiment of the New Jersey Army National Guard first formed in April 1917. In December 1941, it was the last field artillery regiment in the U.S. Army to convert from horse-drawn to truck-drawn howitzers.[2]
Only the 3rd Battalion of the 112th Field Artillery Regiment is currently active.[3] Headquartered in Morristown, NJ, it is the Direct Support FA Battalion for the 44th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. Headquarters Battery, Battery A, and Company F, 250th Brigade Support Battalion (the battalion's Forward Support Company) are also located in Morristown. Battery B is located in Flemington, Battery C is in Toms River, and the Fire Support Detachment is located in Freehold. 3-112 FAR is a M119A3 and M777A2-equipped composite FA battalion.
As noted below the 112th Field Artillery Regiment was organized 3 April 1917 in the New Jersey National Guard from new and existing units as the 1st Battalion, Field Artillery, with Headquarters at Camden. However its lineage goes back to 2 formations formed in March 1776: Eastern Division of New Jersey Artillery [Colonel Thomas Proctor's Regiment of Artillery of the Continental Army] and the Western Division of New Jersey Artillery; both units served in the American Revolution. After 141 years of separation it wasn't until 1916 that both formations were re-united in one unit: Battery B [Western] Battery C [Eastern] with the 112th Field Artillery Regiment [4][5]
