462d Antiaircraft Artillery Automatic Weapons Battalion (Mobile)

     The following is a PDF reproduction of the unit history published by the 462d AAA AW Bn in England following the war.  During the majority of the battalion's time in Europe, the unit was attached to the 2nd Infantry Division.  After action in the Battle of the Bulge near Butgenbach, the 462d was among the numerous antiaircraft battalions sent to protect the Remagen bridgehead across the Rhine.  The organization received credit for participation in the Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace and Central Europe campaigns
