The introduction of an Antiaircraft Artillery capability to the division began in 1939. In just three years the Coast Artillery Corps fielded hundreds of battalions with all new equipment, many of which saw combat in North Africa. Influenced by the Coast Artillery experience of defending static points, and precluded from maneuvering with the field army in the interwar years, the doctrine, equipment and training for the AAA units at Kasserine required significant adjustment. By Remagen, the fixes were in place.
