The 6th Howitzer Battalion, 77th Artillery, was activated at Fort Irwin on 15 October 1966. It served in Vietnam, became the 6th Battalion in April 1968, and was inactivated in Vietnam on 1 June 1969.
Its headquarters returned as Battery F, 77th Artillery, in Vietnam from April to August 1971. The battery received the field artillery designation that September; its service continues the lineage of the former 6th Battalion. Army lineage history, Part 2, PDF page 223.
Research note: The added historical entries cite their sources individually. Regimental illustrations are labeled as such. An earlier battalion designation can continue through another battalion or a separate battery; these relationships are identified in the entries. These additions follow Janice E. McKenney, Field Artillery (U.S. Army Center of Military History, 2010), Parts 1 and 2. The published lineages principally cover developments through 2003; they are not a current order of battle. The original five symbol cards retain their links to individual reference pages.
