Kronens Artilleriregiment

The Kronens Artilleriregiment (The Crowns Artillery Regiment) was a Danish Army artillery regiment. On 1 August 1982 it was merged with Sjællandske Artilleriregiment to form Kongens Artilleriregiment.

History
In 1684 three artillery corps were formed, Danske Artillerikorps, Holstenske Artillerikorps and Norske Artillerikorps. They were merged in 1764 to one corps, Det kongelige Artillerikorps. Kronens Artilleriregiment traces its origin back to this corps. In 1803 it was split up into three brigades, Danske Artilleribrigade, Holstenske Artilleribrigade (the later Sjællandske Artilleriregiment) and Norske Artilleribrigade (disbanded in 1814).
