What did the 62nd Coast artillery anti aircraft do in World War 2?
Many coastal artillery battalions existed early in the war to protect against threat of an enemy attack by sea. As the war progressed and this threat diminished, some of these units were coverted to field artillery battalions or anti-aircraft artillery battalions. Some coastal artillery battalions did go overseas to protect US naval bases. The 62nd Coast Artillery Antiaircraft Regiment earned campaign credits for: Algieria-French Morocco Tunisia (Ground) - 1st Bn, HQ & Hq Bty, Co B, & D only Sicily(Ground) - HQ only There was also a 62nd Antiaircraft Artillery Gun Battalion that served in Sicily, Rome-Arno, Southern France, Rhineland, and Ardennes-Alsace. My guess is that the coastal artillery regiment was reduced in size and re-designated as an AA battalion.

How many men are there in a regiment?
Questions such as these require more specifics, such as: of what army? Or what nation's army? Etc. Because they are almost always different. Example: Vietnam War; Australian Centurion tank regiment was equivalent to a US Army squadron. An Australian tank squadron was equal to a US Army tank company. Note (for your info): The only two different ALLIED medium battle tanks in the war were the "Pattons" and "Centurions." Using the US Army as a model (and during the Vietnam War time frame): 1. Regiments were used only by the US Cavalry. 2. Regiments were about equal to a brigade. 3. Two or more squadrons made up a regiment (two or more battalions made up a brigade). 4. Two or more TROOPS made up a Squadron. (Samples: A Troop, B Troop, C Troop, etc.). Only the cavalry used the term "Troop", everyone else used the term "Company." Two or more platoons made up a Troop (two or more platoons made up a company). 5. US Armor Battalions (tank battalions) had about 500 officers and men. US Infantry Battalions (Infantrymen/Grunts) had about 600 officers and men. US Mechanized Infantry Battalions (equipped with M113 ACAVs) had about 900 officers and men. US Armored Cavalry Squadrons (M551 Sheridan/M113 ACAV equipped) had about 1,000 officers and men. Therefore, in the Viet War, a US Armored Cav regiment will have over 2,000 men.
