200th Coast Artillery (AA) Regiment
The
200th Coast Artillery (AA) (
200 CA) arrived in the Philippines, in September of
1941. This
anti-aircraft unit was assigned to
USAFFE and ordered to provide air defenses for
Clark Field, while based at
Fort Stotsenburg. The 60th CA was equipped with 12 3-inch guns (an older model with a vertical range of 8,200
m), .50-caliber machine guns, and 60-inch Sperry searchlights. Sources disagree as to whether this unit had 37mm guns or 24 truck-mounted 75mm guns.
This unit was not attached to the Philippine Coast Artillery Command.
