This artillery unit was originally the 52d Artillery Regiment, Coast Artillery Corps. It was redesignated the 286th Coast Artillery Battalion August 3, 1944. It was redesignated the 538th Field Artillery Battalion on November 20, 1944. The 538th Artillery was one of the 238 "separate" artillery battalions in the European Theater of Operations.

Where was the 208 field artillery battalion in world war 2?
I checked the artillery assigned to the Infantry Divisions and the 208 Field Artillery Battalion was NOT part of an infantry division. This means they were either a separate battalion assigned to an Army or a Corps. I did find reference to the 208 Field Artillery Group. An artillery regiment or a group were a higher level of command for several battalions. It was more of an administrative organization. However, some of these units were re-organized and re-identified from a regiment to a Battalion.

How many men were in a field artillery battery and in a battalion during World War 2?
There were various types of artillery and various size units. This is for a Field Artillery Battalion that served within an Infantry Division. Each FA Battalion that operated 105mm field Howitzers consisted of 3 batteries of 4 guns each. Each battery, identified as Battery A, B & C, had about 100 men. Then there was the HQ Battery, the Service Battery(which was smaller or about 80 men). My Dad's unit in Italy, the 328FA Battalion, had an extra battery, Battery D, added to it that consisted of self-propelled artillery. Then later, they went to a 6-gun battery, but this was not common. See this link: http://www.custermen.com/ItalyWW2/ArmyOrg/OrgChart/Charts.htm
How many self-propelled howitzers are in a field artillery battalion in the US Army?
Combat units aren't organised into regiments. Regiments are used pretty much for the sake of lineage, and nothing more. While a regiment may consist of one battalion or several battalions, they'll typically be spread out... you may have different battalions of the same regiment serving in different divisions.For a Field Artillery Battalion, a typical Battalion consisted of 3 batteries, each containing four 105mm howitzers.
What were the blacks called during world war 2?
I just obtained a copy of a YANK Magazine article about the African-American 333 Field Artillery Battalion that was highly decorated. The article refers to the soldiers as Negroes.The 333 FA was in the path of the German attack during the Battle of the Bulge on 16-17 December 1944. It suffered more casualties than any other field artillery battalion in Europe. Due to heavy losses, it was merged with the 969 Field Artillery Battalion and supported the 101st Airborne Division's defense of Bastonge. The 969 FA and members of the 333 FA serving with them received the Presidential Unit Citation.
