Hello fellow Redlegs. I am currently assigned to 1-39 FA. I am trying to collect as much history of the battalion as possible. The battalion activated on 14 June 00 as a part of the 3rd IN Div at Fort Stewart. I have access to unit crests for the 13th and 39th FA, as well as selected other FA units. Would be willing to e-mail any information I have to anyone wanting it. SPEED IN ACTION!
