The 2nd Battalion, 20th Field Artillery Regiment, "Deep Strike," was first constituted on 1 July, 1916 in the Regular Army as Battery B, 20th Field Artillery. In December 2005, it deployed as part of the 4th Infantry Divison in support to Operation Iraqi Freedom. After returning from the deployment, the 2nd Battalion, 20th Field Artillery was inactivated and relieved from assignment to the 4th Infantry Division. It was reactivated as part of 41st Fires Brigade, assigned to III Corps, at Fort Hood, Texas. The 41st Fires Brigade was designated as the III Corps Fires Brigade intended to support the 1st Cavalry Division. This reorganization was part of the transformation of the US Army to the modular force structure.
