Fires Bulletin|July-August 2018

The U.S. Army Field Artillery School has announced the winners of the 2017 Knox, Hamilton and Gruber awards for excellence within the field artillery branch. These awards are presented annually and recognize excellence by unit (active and National Guard) and individual. Congratulations to the 2017 award winners.

The 2017 Knox, Hamilton And Gruber Awards

The Knox Award is named after the first Chief of Artillery and first Secretary of War, Maj. Gen. Henry A. Knox. Originally called the Knox Trophy and Medal, the award was established in 1924 in order to recognize the best field artillery battery and best enlisted Soldier. The award was lost during World War II, but reinstated in 2002 for active-duty FA units, with the individual Soldier award being replaced with the Gruber Award. For accomplishments in the year 2017 congratulations are owed to C Battery, 1st Battalion, 320th Field Artillery Regiment (101st Airborne Division, Fort Campbell, Ky.) as the recipients of the Henry A. Knox Award.
