  • The "Loyal Train of Artillery"

    For everyone’s information, the Loyal Train of Artillery, AKA, “The US Field Artillery Association Artillery School” has been directed by the US Field Artillery Association to cease and desist from using the name US Field Artillery Association and any logos or emblems belonging to the USFAA on any and all references to the “artillery school” they operate. They are in no way endorsed by the USFAA and their drill is not approved by or endorsed by the USFAA, any agencies or individuals related to the USFAA or Fort Sill. This is their second cease and desist order to remove all references to the USFAA and USFAA logos from all websites, publications or fliers related to their “artillery school”. Failure to comply will result in the dissolution of their organization as a chapter of the USFAA.

    Likewise, if you don’t already know, calling them an “artillery school” is a stretch anyway as they don’t use period drill, do not use any period drill manuals, and have their own drill manual they made up. Keep away from these guys.

    Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay -- and claims a halo for his dishonesty.— Robert A. Heinlein

    Excellent! It has been a long time coming. Now the uphill battle would be to convert the NCWAA to authentic drill.
