United States Army Coast Artillery Corps var mellan åren 1901 till 1950 ett truppslag i USA:s armé.
Organisation
Det amerikanska artilleriet delades 1907 i fältartilleri och kustartilleri. Kustartillerikåren bestod då av 107 kompanier. 1924 infördes en regementsorganisation i kustartilleriet. Det fanns 16 fasta kustartilleriregementen och flera rörliga kustartilleri- och luftvärnsregementen. Kustartilleriet fanns även inom nationalgardet och reserven. 1943 blev bataljonen den organisatoriska grundenheten. De flesta kustartilleriförband lades ned 1944-1946 och truppslaget avskaffades officiellt 1950.[1]
Minläggningsväsendet
Till kustartilleriet hörde minläggningsväsendet, Army Mine Planter Service, vilket var en organisation för utläggning av minspärrar, med egna minutläggningsfartyg.[2]
