Welcome
to the 570th HQ page!!!
This site under
construction... some text is filler...
For
many years, the 570th was host to field artillery specialists and their
support. This
included, like most detachments, standard projectile artillery, missile
artillery, and commo.
Here
you will find references to what we might recall from our time
there... picture galleries (see
admin
notes, right column) are
available as well- as well as links to
other information about the 570th, Münster,
etc...
Please feel free to post to the message board(s), let us know if you
have pics we should post (I believe you can post your own in the
message boards as well), and at a minimum, please register on the
registration board so those that come in the future can perhaps find
you.
More is coming, but I need YOUR help! Send pics to
Admin@570thusaag.com, and I will put them in the gallery, or on this
page.
Any
commo and MP insignias or data missing, let me know the command unit
(brigade/command HQ level), and I will look into getting that data on
here.
How to post pictures-
1. Click Gallery
2. Register if you have not
3. Wait for email to activate registration
4. Click on link in email
5. Log in
6. Click "upload"
7. Upload your pics
8. The pics will NOT be immediately available- after approval from
Admin, pics will be posted and available to view

The
following appeared in the final 59th Courier, the Brigade's
Newspaper... perhaps "inactivated" should have been "deactivated", but
it has been left as was printed.
570th US
Army Artillery Group
The 570th U.S. Army Artillery Group was organized in May 1922 as the
570th Field Artillery Battalion under the 218th Brigade in the
Organized Reserves. In March 1944, the battalion was allocated to the
Army of the United States, and activated in April 1944, at Fort
Jackson, S.C.
The unit deployed to the Pacific Theater and participated in
combat operations for which it earned the Asiatic-Pacific battle
streamer.
In July 1947, the battalion was redesignated the 946th Field
Artillery Battalion and allotted to the Organized Reserves.
In August 1955, following the Korean conflict, the 570th was
redesignated the 570th Field Artillery Missile Battalion and activated
as a Corporal Missile unit at Fort Bliss, Texas, in September 1955.
In February 1964, the battalion headquarters was redesignated as
Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 570th U.S. Army Artillery
Group, the rest of the battalion's subordinate units were disbanded,
and the new group headquarters was activated at Fort Sill, Okla.
In July 1964, the group arrived in Germany and the headquarters
was established in Muenster-Handorf.
The 570th was inactivated on 15 June 1992.
Temporary Administrative
Notes
(Note-
When you click on the gallery
link, you do NOT have to log in
to see pics... just click on album
list, and work from there. Other links will work for you as
well, just not the log in, unless you register. Otherwise, log in is
mainly for the Admin.)
Keep in mind, this is a big project, always in progress, so if
something does not work, or seems incomplete, there is probably a
reason other than your computer. Please come back and check from time
to time to see how things change, and what is added.
Initially, concerning this website and links within the site, you may
see a lot of redundancy perhaps, either with text or
layouts, when you look between sites/units (USAFADS). This is normal,
and this will change/improve over time.
An important note.
For these sites under the main site of 570th USAAG
to become complete, we need
YOUR help. Pictures, postings of information (either on message
boards or privately via email) are needed to make each Unit's site
under the 570th complete.
This
"Admin
side" of the site (this right column) will eventually be filled with
more textual data like
that on the left column...
