The US Field Artillery Association has three distinguished awards.
ANCIENT
ORDER OF
SAINT BARBARA.
The Ancient Order is the more
distinguished of the two levels of the Military Society of Saint
Barbara. It recognizes the select few who stand above their
brethren of the Honorable Order. The specific criteria for
accession into the Ancient Order is to have performed
conspicuous, long-term service for or on behalf of the United
States Army Field Artillery or Marine Corps Field Artillery.
The Ancient Order is reserved for an elite few whose careers
have embodied the spirit, dignity and sense of sacrifice and
commitment epitomized by Saint Barbara. Membership in the
Honorable Order is not a prerequisite for membership in the
Ancient Order.
**The approving authority for all
awards of the Ancient Order of Saint Barbara is the Commanding
General, United States Army Field Artillery Center and Fort
Sill. The Commanding General may approve, disapprove or
downgrade the nomination to the Honorable Order as he deems
appropriate.
HONORABLE
ORDER OF
SAINT BARBARA.
(For new nomination procedures, see link above)
The award authority for the Honorable
Order of Saint Barbara is centralized to the Field Artillery
commanders who are
Lieutenant Colonel or above. Division artillery
commanders, Field Artillery brigade commanders, Marine
artillery regiment commanders or corps artillery commanders
have approval authority. Such commanders may approve the award
for those in or associated with their commands. When there is no
such Field Artillery commander available, the Commanding
General of the United States Army Field Artillery Center and
Fort Sill is the approving authority for the Honorable Order of
Saint Barbara. The Honorable Order of Saint Barbara recognizes
those individuals who have demonstrated the highest standards
of integrity and moral character; displayed an outstanding
degree of professional competence; served the United States Army
or Marine Corps Field Artillery with selflessness; and
contributed to the promotion of the Field Artillery in ways
that stand out in the eyes of the recipient's seniors,
subordinates and peers, alike.
ARTILLERY
ORDER OF
MOLLY PITCHER.
The award authority for the Artillery
Order of Molly Pitcher is decentralized to the Field Artillery
commanders,
Lieutenant Colonel or above. Such commanders may approve the
award for individuals in their communities. When there is no
such Field Artillery commander available, the Commanding
