Since the January-February 1974 edition, the magazine has been bimonthly. From 1974 until mid-1987, the magazine was called Field Artillery Journal. Then from mid-1987 through the last edition in 2007, the magazine was called Field Artillery. For more information on the history of the magazine, see the article "History of Field Artillery Magazine: Pointing the Way to the Future" in the March-April 2007 edition online at this website in "Past Editions."

    As stated in the first edition in 1911, the purpose of the magazine was "to disseminate professional knowledge and furnish information as to the artillery's progress, development and best use in campaign; to cultivate with the other arms a common understanding of the power and limitations of each; to foster a feeling of interdependency among the different arms and of hearty cooperation by all; and to promote understanding between the regular and militia forces by forging a close bond—all of which objects are worthy and contribute to the good of our country."

    Starting with the May-June 2007 edition, the magazine became the Fires Bulletin published under the auspices of the US Army Fires Center of Excellence, Fort Sill, as the integrated professional journal for US Army and Marine Field Artillerymen and US Army Air Defense Artillerymen—all US Artillerymen.
