2d Battalion, 29th Field Artillery
"Fidelis
et Verus"
("Faithful
and True")
"Pathfinders"
(Baumholder, Germany)
The 2d Battalion, 29th Field Artillery (Pathfinders)
was originally one of the three organic Direct Support (DS) Field
Artillery Battlations of 8th Infantry Division (Mechanized)
Division Artillery (DIVARTY). During Operations Desert Shield and
Desert Storm, the battalion joined the 42d Field Artillery
Brigade of VII Corps Artillery as General Support (GS) Field
Artillery Battalion. Because of this GS organization, the
battalion's organic fire support element (FSE) did NOT deploy.
(The FSE is organic to DS Field Artillery battalions, but not
needed for a battalion routinely in the GS role.) 2-29 FA
battalion deployed to Southwest Asia on or about 2 January 1991
from Baumholder, Germany. During the ground offensive, 2-29 FA
supported 1st Cavalry Division, 1st Armored Division, 1st
Infantry Division, and the 3d Armored Division. The Pathfinder's
role with the Third Armored Division was as a Reinforcing (R)
battalion to the 2d Battalion, 3d Field Artillery in Direct
Support of the Ready First Combat Team.
2-29 FA remained in theater until 4 May 1991 (the return date
of 20 July 1991 on the DA General Orders for the Valorous Unit
Award is most likely incorrect). Upon reployment to Germany, 2-29
FA rejoined the 8 ID DIVARTY. Soon after that, elements of the 3d
Armored Division and 8th Infantry Division combined to form the
"new" 1st Armored Division (reflagged 8 ID
headquarters). 2-29 FA served for approximately two years as a
direct support FA battalion in 1st Armored Division DIVARTY. The
2-29 FA was transferred to Ft. Lewis, Washington in 1994, and was
reflagged as 1-37 FA on 16 April 1995.
Most of the section-level leadership positions and above are
filled in the roster, but very few of the E1 to E5
positions/names have been identified. I have a complete roster of
the battalion, but do not have linked positions. I will
eventually publish this list in alphabetical order so others can
identify positions/batteries. Any input would be greatly
appreciated. If you can add or correct any information, see the
bottom of the page for contact information. Many of the names we
currently have came from the 2d Battalion, 29th Field
Artillery Desert Storm Combat Historical Summary.
Specific information requests of the 2-29 FA veterans out
there:
1. Any names/positions you can send me.
2. Any photos (*.jpg preferrably) and/or e-mail addresses you
can send me to link to names in the rosters.

and Keith were sent from C 1st Platoon to accompany the 2d
Platoon and were assigned to SSG Ocasio's section. After arriving
at the KKMC, the two platoons were broken into sections and sent
to different units. SSG Ocasio's section was sent to the 42d
Brigade FA and from there to the 2/29. There they were greeted by
the Battalion Commander who informed SSG Ocasio that he had
turned the "float" ammo track into a Command vehicle
and that he was to man the float gun with a five man crew. That
crew was: SSG Ocasio; Gunner, SGT Ross; Asst Gunner, SPC James B.
Thomas; #1 cannoneer and advanced party, PFC Keith H. Montgomery;
driver/powder, PVT Albert B. Brautigam. This crew was attached to
2/29 from 1FEB91 to 31APR91 when they returned to the 4/29 FA in
Baumholder, Germany.
