mission[edit]

The article states that the battery is charged with "providing artillery support to the regiment during combat operations in defense of Washington, D.C."—and also mentions that the battery was formed in 1953. Should there be a mention that Washington has not been threatened in that time? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 17:36, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
