The DIVARTY was inactivated in 2004 as part of transformation to modular brigade combat teams, but was reactivated on 17 October 2014 to provide fire support coordination and mission command for the training and readiness of Field Artillery units across the division.

Besides the headquarters, the brigade’s initial units were the 10th Field Artillery Regiment, stationed at Fort Douglas, Utah, with 24 75 mm guns; the 76th Field Artillery Regiment, at Fort Bliss, Texas, with 24 75 mm guns; the 18th Field Artillery Regiment, with 24 155 mm howitzers at Fort Ethan Allen Vermont; and the 3rd Trench Mortar Battery, with 12 6-inch trench mortars.

[4][5] On 1 April 1960, the DIVARTY was reorganized with a five composite 105mm/155mm direct support battalions (one for each battle group; three towed and two self-propelled) with the composite general support battalion consisting of 8-inch howitzers and Honest John rockets.

[8] In the 1970s, as a result of increasing weapons capability and unit zones, the DIVARTY activated a target acquisition battery.

The division lost its 8-in howitzers, and retained a single firing battery of [M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System|MLRS].

The separate target acquisition and MLRS batteries retained different regimental lineages.

In addition, the three battalions and TAB battery, Btry A, 13th FA was reassigned to the 3rd ID.

The three points of the triangle are indicative of the numerical designation of the unit and also, of the 3rd Division to which the organization is assigned.
