Description
This March-April 2007 edition of Field Artillery marks an end of an era. During the past century, this professional magazine has performed a critical role in preparing the Field Artillery (FA) for war. It also has furnished a forum for vigorous debate over doctrine, modernization, equipment design and other important and timely issues. Since 1911, a professional magazine for Field Artillerymen has been published almost continuously, moving backward in time from today's magazine--Field Artillery (reprinted in the FA Association's FA Journal), The Field Artilleryman, Artillery Trends, Tactical and Technical Trends in Artillery for Instruction and the original The Field Artillery Journal.
Although this edition of Field Artillery concludes an illustrious era, the upcoming integrated FA-Air Defense Artillery (ADA) Fires Bulletin, the next edition, offers the FA and ADA branches and Fires Center of Excellence, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, exciting new opportunities to exchange ideas about tactics, doctrine, equipment design and other issues critical to the branches. The proud tradition of these two combat arms branches will continue into the future.
