- The 1st Battalion, 168th Field Artillery (1-168 FA) was a field artillery battalion of the Nebraska Army National Guard during the Cold War. It served as the direct support artillery battalion of the 67th Infantry Brigade from 1968 and continued in that role when the 67th Brigade became part of the reactivated 35th Infantry Division in 1985. The battalion was inactivated in 1997 due to the conversion of the 67th Brigade into a support group. Its subordinate units were mostly converted into support units while the battalion headquarters was converted into the 168th Quartermaster Battalion headquarters, which perpetuated its lineage. The lineage of the 168th Field Artillery parent regiment began with the 1946 formation of the 3rd Battalion, 134th Infantry when the Nebraska National Guard reorganized after the end of World War II. It was converted to field artillery in 1959, with the 1st and 2nd Howitzer Battalions of the 168th Artillery serving as divisional artillery battalions of the 34th Infantry Division. When the 34th Infantry Division was eliminated in 1963, the 1st Howitzer Battalion became a non-divisional unit and the 2nd Howitzer Battalion became the direct support artillery battalion of the 67th Infantry Brigade. Under the 1968 reorganization, the 1st Battalion, 168th Artillery was formed from elements of both howitzer battalions, with its units in rural western Nebraska and the Nebraska Panhandle. (en)
