Ralston 4 August 2005 to Present 1 From 1918 to 1942, the Chief of Field Artillery was located at the War Department in Washington, D.C. On 4 June 1920, the position was made permanent by statute. 2 During the first half of 1919, Brig. Gen. Edward H. De Armond served as the acting chief on three occasions—22 to 31 January, 7 April to 22 May, and 17 to 20 June. 3 With the implementation of the War Department Reorganization Plan on 9 March 1942, the staff position for the Chief of Field Artillery disappeared. At this time, the branch chief’s authority was vested in the commanding general of the Army Ground Forces and subordinate elements were integrated with those of the newly created command. See Kent Roberts Greenfield, Robert R. Palmer, and Bell I. Wiley, The Organization of Ground Combat Troops, United States Army in World War II (Washington, D.C.: Historical Division, Department of the Army, 1947), pp. 148–55. 4 In October 1983, as part of the Army-wide transfer of branch proponency to the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command service schools under School Model 83, the Field Artillery School commandant became dual-hatted as the reconstituted Chief of Field Artillery. Although not a mandated staff position as held by the former chiefs, the proponent branch chief had “responsibility for the development, documentation and integration of doctrine, organizations, equipment, training and personnel into the Total Army.” See USATRADOC Annual Command History, 1 October 1982 to 30 September 1983, pp. 61, 308–09, plus Ltr, Gen William R. Richardson, CG, HQ, USATRADOC, to Comdrs, TRADOC Integrating Centers, and Comdts, TRADOC Service Schools, 26 Aug 83, sub: Proponency, in backup materials of ibid., Command Historian files, USATRADOC, Fort Monroe, Va.
