22nd Coast Artillery (United States)

The 22nd Coast Artillery was a regiment of the United States Army that served in the Coast Artillery Corps. It was primarily responsible for harbor defense. The unit was activated during World War I and World War II, serving to protect strategic coastal locations within the United States. Specific locations of deployment and operational history can vary depending on the period of activation. Historical records indicate deployment for harbor defense missions along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. After World War II, the regiment, like many Coast Artillery units, was inactivated as the role of fixed coastal defenses diminished with advancements in military technology, especially the development of long-range missiles and aircraft. The unit's lineage and honors may have been transferred to other active units within the U.S. Army following its inactivation. Further research into specific activation dates, locations, commanders, and decommissioning details would be necessary for a more comprehensive history.
