At Quantico Virginia, the 14th Marine Regiment was formed to fill the void when the 10th Marine Regiment departed for final training and reassignment overseas. The Regiment received its colors on 26 Nov 1918. The officers and men of the regiment were seasoned veterans from the war in Cuba in 1898. The regiment mustered 28 officers and 1027 men at that time. The regiment formed a regimental HQ and three Battalions. The commanding officer of the regiment was Col Richard M. Cutts. The regiment was initially fielded with the 3-inch field gun. The regiment trained for the war in Europe but never left the States. Although never called on for actual combat, the 14th Marines, stood as a force in readiness, prepared to fight wherever and whenever needed. The Regiment was disbanded due to the draw down on 19 Jun 1919.

Once again, after a quarter-century lapse, the 14th Marines joined the proud ranks of the Marine artillery and began preparing for the war with Japan. The regiment was activated 1 Jun 1943 at Camp Lejeune, NC. LtCol Randall M. Victory, a former "Horse Marine" in China assumed command. The regiment was sent to Camp Pendleton for training. The regiment had the 105mm and 155mm Howitzers during the war. They served numerous campaigns during World War II, they were: Kwajalein, Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima. The Regiment was redeployed during Oct-Nov 1945 to Camp Pendleton. The Regiment was deactivated on 20 Nov 1945.

During the time between the Korean War, small units served in combat. The regimental HQ was not reactivated. Although the activation for Korea went smoothly and the reserves proved themselves in combat, some weaknesses in the reserve structure were found. The lack of higher HQ at the Division and Regimental levels IN THE RESERVES WAS ONE OF THE SHORTFALLS. In 1954, the Marine Corps Reserves went through a structure review.

In the early 60's the possibility of a major war loomed and President Kennedy ordered the reserves to be prepared for a "Flexible Response." In April 1962, the Commandant, General Stroup, authorized a major reorganization of the reserves. With the formation of the 4th Marine Division, 14th Marines was reactivated on 1 Jul 1962 at Marine Corps Reserve Training Center, Treasure Island, San Francisco, CA. In 1967, The 14th Marines Hq was relocated to Marine Corps Reserve Training Center, Fort Worth, TX. This lasted until 1976, when the Regiment was related to Naval Air Station, Dallas, TX.

During the pursuing years, the Regiment was occupied in numerous training exercises within the United States and overseas. In 1991, Firing Batteries and other elements of the Regiment served in Operations Desert Shield and Storm in Southwest Asia.

During the late 90's, the Base Realignment Commission (BRAC) decided the NAS, Dallas was going to be closed and NAS Ft Worth was to become the Joint Reserve Base. The 14th Marine Regiment was to be relocated to the base. During April 1998, the 14th Marine Regiment began its relocation to their new facility located at Building 4210. The current Commanding Officer of the Regiment is Col Kevin A. Vietti USMC.
