You’re probably asking yourself why would someone create a webpage dedicated to the 3d Battalion 15th Field Artillery Regiment? This journey began with the rush to inactivate the Battalion in 1994, leaving a sense of incomplete business. We closed with a ceremony to case our colors on 10 September 1994, but no recognition of the Battalion’s accomplishments or what being a part of it meant to its Soldiers. Twenty-seven years later that acknowledgement began with a patch. We searched for former members of the battalion, and when we found them we would send them a 3/15 Veteran patch. From that patch came our first reunion in December 2022. Since then we have held a reunion every year. That first patch morphed into a Battalion Coin which lead to a lapel pin followed by our own patch for the 3d Battalion and that eventually lead to the King of Battle Award and a Battalion Molly Pitcher Award.

Why did we create this webpage? The answer to that is simply so the men of the battalion would never be forgotten; that their legacy will live on along with their accomplishments, especially as many of them served all 17 years when the battalion was active in Alabama. In a conversation with the Battalion CSM Don Peak “I never thought I would ever see anyone from the battalion again after we were in inactivated. It means a lot to all the Soldiers, NCOs and Officers that served in the battalion to be able to come back together again once a year.”

This is a journey that all of us are on together and it’s far from over. We’re not even close to being halfway through it, but I do know this the 3d Battalion 15th Field Artillery Regiment will never be forgotten. This webpage will be an enduring reflection of the unit and its accomplishments. If you wish to help with a donation it would be greatly appreciated and will be put to good use in continuing the 3d Battalion's legacy along with supporting the Veterans of the Battalion.
