My Dad was a 13B there for an enlistment before joining and retiring in the guard later on. I'm trying to find out so I can get him a gift, but without asking him any questions that would spoil the surprise.

Try looking up the 5th Infantry Division Artillery. Namely: 3rd BN/19th FAR; 2nd BN/21st FAR; C Battery/21st FAR; H Battery/25th FAR; and Headquarters and Headquarters Battery of the 5th INF DIV Artillery. Those units may have been there in the mid 80's
