The 2d Battalion of the 94th Artillery was originally a self-propelled M107

175mm gun battalion located at Dong Ha. In early 1969 it was converted to

the dual 8-inch self propelled M110 howitzer and 175mm self-propelled gun

configuration. Under I Field Force, Vietnam it was transferred to the

108th Artillery Group on 31 March 1968 and was removed from operational

control of the III Marine Amphibious Force. Later it was moved to Quang

Tri, to Camp Evans on 28 November 1969 and then back to Dong Ha in 1970.

In 1971 the battalion was transferred to Da Nang and XXIV Corps Artillery.

Later that year it was sent to Phu Bai where it became closely connected

with supporting the 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile).
