1941. This
anti-aircraft unit was assigned to
USAFFE and ordered to provide air defenses for
Clark Field, while based at
Fort Stotsenburg. The 60th CA was equipped with 12
3-inch guns[?] (an older model with a vertical range of 8,200
m),
.50-caliber machine guns[?], and 60-inch
Sperry searchlights[?]. Sources disagree as to whether this unit had
37mm guns[?] or 24 truck-mounted
75mm guns[?].
This unit was not attached to the Philippine Coast Artillery Command.
