Description: Maj. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan staked out the site that would become Fort Sill in January 1869. Sheridan was leading a campaign into Indian Territory to stop hostile tribes from raiding border settlements in Texas and Kansas. Troops from the 10th Cavalry, a distinguished unit of African-American "Buffalo Soldiers" who constructed many of the stone buildings still surrounding the Old Post Quadrangle, camped at the new fort. Field artillery first arrived in 1902 and home of the field artillery since 1911. It is the original home of the infantry and aviation and The U.S. Marine Corps Artillery home since 1951. As home of the field artillery, Fort Sill is not only at the forefront of tremendous technological advances, but it is also steeped in natural, living history. Fort Sill is also a National History Landmark. Fort Sill is the only remaining active fort built during the Indian Wars. Fires Center of Excellence since 2009.
