This website is a work in progress and will serve as a virtual Artillery OCS Hall of Fame and Museum. It is collection of digital images, sound files, videos, historic documents and records of historical and cultural interest that can be accessed through social media. It is a supplement to the OCS exhibits and displays available to the public in the Artillery OCS Heritage Hall at Fort Sill, Oklahoma that was built in 2023.
We strive to make artilleryocshistory.org the "Go-To" source for accurate information about the history of Artillery OCS and the significant contributions of more than 49,000 graduates to the Defense of the Nation and the betterment of society.
The Website Navigation page and Find Your Way page will help you as we build the site. This website is was created and is maintained by the Artillery OCS Heritage Society.
Durham Hall Building 3025 was home of the Artillery OCS Hall of Fame from 1984 to 2021
