Field Artillery (magazine)
Field Artillery (or FA) is a discontinued bimonthly magazine on the subject of field artillery, published from 1911 to 2007. It was published by the US Field Artillery Association, Fort Sill, Oklahoma and was an official publication of the United States Army Field Artillery Corps. Its intended readership included active and reserve U.S. Army and Marine field artillerymen stationed around the world.
In its final years, FA included much discussion of the military operations in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Some of the articles have included discussions of the use of white phosphorus shells for missions other than providing smoke covering or marking positions and have caused political controversy both within and without the United States. (See White phosphorus use in Iraq.)

Famous quotes containing the words field and/or artillery:
“The snow had begun in the gloaming,
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
“Another success is the post-office, with its educating energy augmented by cheapness and guarded by a certain religious sentiment in mankind; so that the power of a wafer or a drop of wax or gluten to guard a letter, as it flies over sea over land and comes to its address as if a battalion of artillery brought it, I look upon as a fine meter of civilization.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
