The unit traces is origins to the Connecticut Militia under the 24th Regiment since the Wyoming Valley was a part of Connecticut at the time. After alternating between an infantry and artillery unit throughout the early years and campaigns, the battalion was designated as the 109th Field Artillery Regiment on October 11, 1917. During the 1950s and 1960s, under the Pentomic army structure, the 2nd Battalion, 109th Artillery, served with the 28th Division. 1st Battalion1st Battalion, 109th FA, (the "Wyoming Valley Guards") is a battalion of the United States Army, maintained by the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. It is a subordinate formation of the 169th Field Artillery Brigade. Its headquarters is at the historic Kingston Armory located in Kingston, PA. The unit was organized on October 17, 1775 and is one of the oldest military units in the United States Army. In 1984-85 the 1st Battalion was part of the divisional artillery of the 28th Infantry Division.[2] Recent news articles in 2014 and 2015 stated the 55th BCT is under consideration for inactivation by late 2016 and as a result may inactivate the battalion.
