Its assigned batteries were placed at various fire bases located in the Americal Division's area of operations (AO) below Da Nang in Southern I Corps.

During its first full year in Vietnam, the battalion's firebases were subject to frequent NVA attacks while supporting a number of operations within the Americal Division's AO.

In spring 1971, 1st Battalion, 82nd Artillery was deployed along the Vietnam Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in support of Operation Lam Son 719, the ARVN invasion of Laos.

1st Battalion, 82nd Artillery units manned several critical fire bases right on the border of North Vietnam to support Vietnamese and U.S. forces operating in these areas.

During the 69 days of Operation Lam Son 719, the 1st Battalion, four men from the 82nd Artillery were killed and twenty were wounded, with three more fatalities due to non-hostile causes.

[1][2] The 3rd Battalion, 82nd Artillery arrived in Vietnam on 15 August 1966 as part of the 196th Light Infantry Brigade from Fort Devens, Massachusetts.

Due to an enemy sapper attack on LZ East on 11 June 1969, eight members of the 3rd Battalion, 82nd Artillery were killed-in-action (KIA).

In September 1990, the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the 82nd Field Artillery Regiment deployed to Southwest Asia in support of Operation Desert Shield.

In 2018, 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment deployed with the rest of the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division to Toruń, Poland and Germany in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve under the Command of LTC Matthew Dennis and CSM Jonathon Ballard.

From Squaretown, insurgent forces launched mortar attacks and the soldiers were concerned about weapons being transported through the area near the outskirts of Camp War Eagle.

Task Force 2-7 Cavalry and their fire supporters served with the 39th Brigade Combat Team at Camp Cooke in Taji.

The soldiers of C Battery and the COLT Platoon were attached to Colonel Lanza's 5th BCT, located on Camp Falcon on the south side of Baghdad.

The battery's existence proved to be vital during the Mahdi Army's uprisings in April 2004 with the mechanized platoon filling the gaps in Black Jack's armor shortage.

The second platoon ran counter Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and main supply route (MSR) security during that time.

The COLT platoon is credited for smashing an insurgent operation to kill voters on Election Day, without firing a shot.

After the main body of the battalion redeployed to Fort Hood in November 2011, Bravo Battery remained in Kuwait as part of the CENTCOM strategic reserve task organized under 1-8 Cav.

The battalion redeployed in its entirety on 1 March 2014 after leading the largest Joint Coalition Task Force in Regional Command East.

The battalion provided mission command to almost 2700 soldiers and airmen from the US, Jordanian, Korean, and Czech Republic armies.
