13B Field Artillery OSUT Graduation Guide
20 weeks · Two family ceremonies · Fort Sill, OK
The one-trip pattern
Field Artillery OSUT at this installation has one family-attended ceremony — most families make a single trip rather than two. Below is the family event; the other phase in this track does exist but is not a family-attended event.
Graduation Parade (Week 10 — primary family event)
Venue: Cache Creek Chapel Complex, Fort Sill (Thursday graduation parade venue per the 434th FA Brigade). Family Day the day before is at the battalion-designated pickup location — varies by training cycle.
The Week-10 Graduation Parade at Fort Sill marks the end of the BCT portion of Field Artillery OSUT. This is the primary family-attended ceremony — most families make ONE trip to Sill (unlike Infantry OSUT at Benning, which has two trips). AIT continues after Week 10 but typically without a major family ceremony. 🚧 TBD — verify this one-trip characteristic with Fort Sill PAO.
Field Artillery AIT Completion (unit-internal)
Venue: Fort Sill Field Artillery School (unit-internal venue)
Field Artillery AIT completion at Fort Sill is a unit-internal event in the current intel — families do NOT attend. The Week-10 BCT Graduation Parade is the single family-facing trip for FA OSUT at Sill. Confirm with garrison before any deploy that changes this; if attendance is added, update this entry to publicAccess: true and detail the venue.
