Located at the historic Fort Sill, Oklahoma, the Fires Center of Excellence (FCOE) is a dynamic Transformation and Training Command (T2COM) organization responsible for building the U.S. Army from the ground up. Our mission begins with the sacred trust of taking civilian volunteers and forging them into skilled, disciplined soldiers through Basic Combat Training. As the intellectual and professional home of the U.S. Army's Field Artillery and Air Defense Artillery, we then develop these Soldiers and their leaders into the world's most lethal and technically advanced Fires experts, ensuring the Army is prepared to win on any battlefield.
The Fires Center of Excellence trains, educates, and develops Soldiers and Leaders; creates and develops capabilities; and provides a Fires Force to support the Joint Warfighting Commander across the spectrum of operations in Joint and Multinational environments.
The Fires Center of Excellence creates the world's premier Fires Force; ready to employ responsive, cross-domain fires to win in any operational environment.
