11th Marine Regiment

11th Marines Logo - The Cannon Cockers

Blazon: A rectangle per fess red and gold bordered black, inscribed THE CANNON COCKERS in chief gold and 11th Marines in base red with a muzzle loading field cannon and ramrod in natural colors.

Nickname: The Cannon Cockers

Symbolism: The Regiment’s insignia recalls the close association with the British Army’s 42nd Field Artillery Regiment during the Korean War (1950 – 1953) by use of the Royal Artillery Crest – the field cannon and backing with the red and gold colors of the United States Marine Corps. The nickname and the title identify the Regiment.

History: The Regiment was presented its insignia by the Staff Non-Commissioned Officers of the 42nd Royal Field Artillery Regiment – in the form of a plaque – near Munsan-ni, Korea on 7 September 1954. A similar plaque remains with the 42nd.

11th Marines Chapter of the Field Artillery Association

Webster's defines a profession as "a calling requiring specialized knowledge and often long and intensive academic preparation." Our calling as Marine Artillerymen certainly qualifies as a profession - the profession of arms. The Field Artillery Association is dedicated to disseminating professional knowledge and furnishing knowledge specifically related to the Field Artillery, to cultivating new ideas by promoting innovation, and to continued development of the combined arms team.

Here at 11th Marines, we have our own chapter of the Field Artillery Association---the OLD BREED Chapter. Our chapter is dedicated to continuing the legacy of excellence that has been the hallmark of Marine artillerymen throughout our Corps' history. Traditions, such as Saint Barbara's Day and Fiddler's Green are passed along with that Marine Corps "flavor" through our membership in the FA Association. Additionally, the highest honors an artilleryman can receive are initiation into the Honorable and Ancient Orders of St Barbara and the order of Molly Pitcher for our ladies. The conveyance of these prestigious awards comes under the auspices of the FA Association.

All 11th Marines alumni, active or retired and friends of the 11th Marines and are welcome to join the OLD BREED Chapter. Membership information can be found at the following link:
