On 7 October 1920, the 1st Field Artillery Brigade organized under the peacetime TO&E, which included two light (75mm) regiments, and ammunition train of battalion size and a medical detachment. In 1929, the medium (155mm) regiment returned to the brigade. Due to budgetary constraints, none of the units were manned or equipped to wartime strength. The 1st Division adopted a new peacetime TO&E in preparation for war on 8 January 1940, which included one light field artillery regiment of three battalions and one medium field artillery regiment of two battalions. The 1st Infantry Division reorganized again on 1 November 1940 to a new TO&E, which reorganized the Artillery Brigade into a division artillery command led by a brigadier general with one medium and three light field artillery battalions.
