Fourth Squadron

In the USAREUR regiments (2nd and 11th), the squadron How Batteries were consolidated at the regimental level, this became How-2nd ACR, the state side units, for much of the Cold War period, kept the batteries at the squadron level, although I've heard that the 3ACR adopted USAREUR practice.
The 3rd, at least when I was there a decade ago, How Bats was assigned at the squadron level, and when we went to the sandbox, they rolled with the squadron they was assigned to.
