Field Artillery: Published from 1911 to 2007
From the first edition, January-March 1911 The Field
Artillery Journal until the last edition, March-April 2007 Field
Artillery, the magazine has been dedicated to the professional
development of US Army Field Artillerymen, originally, and then, later, also
US Marine Corps Field Artillerymen. It was published under the auspices of
the US Army Field Artillery School and Center, Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
Since the January-February 1974 edition, the magazine has
been bimonthly. From 1974 until mid-1987, the magazine was called Field Artillery Journal. Then from mid-1987 through the last edition in 2007, the magazine was called
Field Artillery. For more information on the history of the magazine, see the article "History of Field Artillery Magazine: Pointing the Way to the Future" in the March-April 2007 edition
online at this website in "Past Editions."
As stated in the first edition in 1911, the purpose of the
magazine was "to disseminate professional knowledge and furnish information
as to the artillery's progress, development and best use in campaign; to
cultivate with the other arms a common understanding of the power and
limitations of each; to foster a feeling of interdependency among the
different arms and of hearty cooperation by all; and to promote
understanding between the regular and militia forces by forging a close
bond—all of which objects are worthy and contribute to the good of our
country."
Starting with the May-June 2007 edition, the magazine became the Fires
Bulletin published under the auspices of the US Army Fires Center of
Excellence, Fort Sill, as the integrated professional journal for US Army
and Marine Field Artillerymen and US Army Air Defense Artillerymen—all US
Artillerymen.
