U.S. Army Field Artillery Detachment Drilling in the Philippine Countryside, Early 1900s
American soldiers and Philippine Scouts drill with a light field gun in the tall grasslands of Luzon, Philippines, circa 1900-1905. Taken in the years surrounding the Philippine-American War, this image captures the everyday work of artillery training that supported U.S. pacification operations and the formation of the Philippine Scouts, a locally recruited constabulary force integrated into the U.S. Army.
