152nd Field Artillery Association - Post-WWII

In 2000 the battalion travelled to Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah for Annual training. Most of the firing positions allowed the gun crews to observe their own fires....

In 2001, the battalion fielded the new Advanced field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS), among the very first National Guard battalions to do so, along with the 197th Field Artillery Brigade.

Between 2000 and 2001, the battalion headquarters moved out of the General Carter State Armory and into the Solman Armory on Sincock Street.
