| abstract | - The 157th Field Artillery Regiment has been both an infantry and field artillery regiment of the Army National Guard. The regiment was first constituted in 1917 from the 1st Colorado Infantry. The regiment was an infantry regiment as part of the 40th Infantry Division in World War I. It was an infantry regiment in the 45th Infantry Division during and after World War II. In 1950 it was removed from the 45th and after the Korean War assigned to the artillery. During the Cold War of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the regiment operated the M110 howitzer. The retirement of the M110 system left many National Guard units without a mission. Some units received the MLRS system, and later the HIMARS system. Other units have had a number of different missions thrust upon them as commanders try to keep the units alive under budget cuts and reorganization. Currently the regiment may have up to four battalions:
* 1st Battalion (Infantry)
* 2nd Battalion
* 3rd Battalion (HIMARS) [citation needed]
* 4th Battalion
