Field Artillery Soldiers stand ready to defend and support our nation and its allies in a variety of combat roles and peacekeeping missions.

As a Soldier in AIT at the Field Artillery Center, you will train on an array of electronics and communications platforms, as well as a variety of weapons systems and munitions.

The Field Artillery Center trains a variety of Army jobs, working as a cohesive Field Artillery team.

The mission of the Field Artillery is to neutralize or suppress the enemy by cannon, rocket and missile fire and to help integrate all fire support assets into combined arms operations. To accomplish the Field Artillery mission, Training Command must train Field Artillery Soldiers in tactics, techniques and procedures for the employment of fire support systems in support of the Maneuver Commander. Training Command further develops leaders who are tactically and technically proficient, develops and refines Warfighting doctrine, and designs units capable of winning on future battlefields.
