1812

The Ordnance Branch is one of the oldest branches of the United States Army, founded on 14 May 1812.

1832

In 1832, Congress authorized the rank of Ordnance Sergeant.

1861

The department faced a similar problem it faced in 1861; how to arm and equip all the soldiers during such a sudden increase in size, an approximately ten-fold increase.

1862

An ordinance was adopted on May 20, 1785, which laid the foundations of American land policy until the passage of the Homestead Act in 1862.

A few Ordnance officers accepted line commands, such as Major Generals Oliver O. Howard who won the Medal of Honor at the Battle of Fair Oaks in 1862, and Jesse Reno who was killed at the Battle of South Mountain in September 1862.

1917

In November 1917, construction began.

1940

Schooling for Ordnance officers and enlisted was streamlined during the period and consolidated by 1940 at Aberdeen Proving Ground at The Ordnance School, a single location where all Ordnance education would occur.

1942

To complicate the maintenance mission, in 1942, the responsibility for motor transport was shifted from the Quartermaster Branch to the Ordnance Department.

In 1985, the Ordnance Corps became the first of the Army’s support elements to re-establish itself under the branch regimental concept.
