History: The Coast Artillery Corps at the time of Americas entry into the war was primarily stationed along the coast and at out posts of our foreign territories. Coast Artillery installations were mostly harbor defenses and were stationed at a fort or fortified gun emplacements. These units have their roots in the early days of our country's history as protectors of our coast and harbor's from foreign enemies sailing in to attack key areas. The guns were of large caliber and were stationary mounted. At the time of our entry into World War One America was ill prepared for large scale warfare with large movements of whole Armies. The U.S. Army was not prepared with its Artillery and had no heavy artillery guns to speak of. When the Coast Artillery finally went to France they used French or British made weapons. The Coast Artillery corps played a major role in gaining the upper hand in the quagmire that was going on in Europe. If it was not for the efforts of the Coast Artillery Corps many more human lives would have been devoured into the battle fields of the that war. It is said that the First World War was an Artillery War and the U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps were part of what happened there on the bloody battlefields of Europe. Our Freedom today is paid for by what the men of the Coast Artillery Corps did. And so we must remember what happened and why it happened for all time.
