Adventure and Action Army
Adventure and Action Army Art.
This is a digitally enhanced updated modern parody reproduction poster of a famous WWI-era U.S. Army Field Artillery recruitment poster: “Adventure and Action. Enlist in the Field Artillery. U.S. Army. Nearest Recruiting Office.” This updated version includes a modern artillery element. (Original created by Harry S. Mueller: Adventure and Action 1919 – below). The caissons go rolling along in this Field Artillery recruiting poster published in the aftermath of World War I. Tanks, trucks, modern artillery (and eventually drones) soon replaced horses.

The U.S. Army Field Artillery branch traces its origins to 17 November 1775 when the Continental Congress unanimously elected Henry Knox “Colonel of the Regiment of Artillery”. The regiment formally entered service on 1 January 1776. During the 19th century a total of seven Artillery regiments were formed which contained a mixture of “heavy” artillery companies and “light” artillery batteries. The light artillery batteries took the role of field artillery although they did not use that designation. The seven artillery regiments were designated as regiments of artillery and were not distinguished as being either “coast” or “field” artillery as was the practice in the 20th century.
In the reorganization of the Army by an act of Congress passed on 2 February 1901, the seven Artillery regiments were reorganized as the Artillery Corps. The Corps was also split into 195 battery-sized units (called companies at the time) of Field Artillery and Coast Artillery. In 1907, the Artillery Corps was reorganized into the Field Artillery and the Coast Artillery Corps. Although presently Field Artillery and Air Defense Artillery are separate branches, both inherit the traditions of the Artillery branch.
