The 635th Regional Support Group is a unit of the Kansas Army National Guard. The unit has a long lineage starting in 1917 when it was formed as the 1st Field Artillery Kansas ARNG. It was federalized as the 130th Field Artillery, 35th Infantry Division for World War I where it earned campaign streamers for Meuse-Argonne, Alsace 1918 and Lorraine 1918. After the war it was returned to the national guard in its original designation. It was again redesignated 130th Field Artillery and federalized in 1921.[1]
In 1940, the regiments were split up for federal service and the unit ceased to exist until 1945. In 1946 it became the HHB, 130th Field Artillery Group at Hutchinson, Kansas. In 1978 it would become the 130th Field Artillery Brigade. It would again be reorganized in 1985 as the HHB, 35th Infantry Division Artillery (DIVARTY).
In 2006, it was redesignated HHC 635th Support Group in Topeka, Kansas and would serve 2017-2018 in the Global War on Terror where it earned at least one campaign streamer.
The group's mission is force management, staging, movement, and force integration for homeland defense and civil support missions in support of state and federal agencies.[2]
