United States Field Artillery

An exciting history of field artillery in the United States armed forces. This branch has answered the call to arms in every major war and several low-intensity conflicts. From small smooth bore, muzzle-loading cannons to today’s rifled, breech-loading tubes, rockets, and missiles, this 222-year history shows how technology and equipment have indeed changed. The book begins with Colonial American Artillery and includes up to the Persian Gulf War. Also featured are National Guard Artillery, Field Artillery stories, Field Artillery Officer Candidate School, and the United States Field Artillery Association and its roster.
