After the bolsheviks retreated in front of the Germans, the Estonian division was allowed to form again on 26 February, with captain Karl Tiitso becoming the artillery brigades commander.

Initially, the unit had a hard time finding equipment, and the first battles of the Estonian War of Independence were fought on 28 November 1918 in Narva as infantry.

In December 1918, the Estonians managed to buy two 7.7 cm FK 16 field guns from the Germans.

In total, 18 batteries participated in the War of Independence, which saw action on the Viru front, in Viljandi, Valga, Võru, and under Cēsis in Latvia, against the Baltic Landwehr.

[2][1] Efforts to form an artillery battalion in the newly re-established Republic of Estonia started taking shape in 1996, when a working group, called "Viro projekti" (English: Estonian project), was established under the Finnish Defence Command to assist the development of Estonian Defence Forces.

Reserve colonel Jouko Kivimäki was chosen to assist the restoration and development of the artillery unit.

Finnish Defence Forces also donated various equipment, including 105 mm H61-37 howitzers, which arrived between December 1997 to February 1998.

[3] The unit was officially restored on 20 March 1998, when the Northern Separate Infantry Battalion was transformed into the Artillery Group.

[7] The battalion is currently being re-equipped with 18 K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzers with full combat readiness projected to be achieved by 2026.
