    1st Armored Division Artillery

    1st Armored Division’s 13B cannon crewmember, 13F fire support specialist, and 13J fire control specialist competitors from 4th Battalion, 1st Field Artillery Regiment, and 2nd Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Armored Division Artillery, pose for a group photo during the opening ceremony of the 2026 Best Redleg Competition at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, May 4, 2026.

    The Best Redleg Competition is an annual event that tests the technical skill, physical endurance, and tactical proficiency of Field Artillery Soldiers—known as Redlegs since the Civil War, when artillerymen wore red‑striped trousers. The competition honors the heritage of the Field Artillery branch by reinforcing mastery of gunnery tasks, building esprit de corps, and recognizing the Soldiers who best uphold the standards of the ‘King of Battle.
