The U.S. Army Coast
Artillery Corps (CAC) was a corps level organization responsible for
coastal and harbor defense of the United States between 1901 and 1950.
Army leaders
realized that heavy fixed artillery required different training programs
and tactics than mobile field artillery. The Artillery Corps was divided
into two types: field artillery and coast artillery. This process began
in February 1901 with the authorization of 30 numbered companies of
field artillery (commonly called batteries) and 126 numbered companies
of coast artillery. 82 existing heavy batteries were designated coast
artillery companies, and 44 new CA companies were created by splitting
existing units and filling their ranks with recruits. The head of the
Artillery Corps became the Chief of Artillery in the rank of brigadier
general with jurisdiction over both types of artillery.
The coast artillery
became responsible for the installation and operation of the controlled
mine fields that were planted to be under observation, fired
electrically and protected by fixed guns. With that responsibility the
Corps began to acquire the vessels required to plant and maintain the
mine fields and cables connecting the mines to the mine casemate ashore
organized as a "Submarine Mine Battery" within the installation command.
The larger vessels, mine planters, were civilian crewed until the
creation of the U.S. Army Mine Planter Service (AMPS) and Warrant
Officer Corps to provide officers and engineers for the ships designated
as mine planters. The mine component was considered to be among the
principal armament of coastal defense works.
This DVD is
dedicated to the history of those men, including 385 publications
containing thousands of articles on what they did and when they did it.
