Headquarters and Headquarters Battery (HHB), III Corps Artillery, has a storied legacy dating back to its activation during World War I, supporting corps-level artillery operations. The unit played pivotal roles in both World War II and the Cold War, providing command and control for large-scale field artillery formations. Stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma—known as the "Home of the Field Artillery"—HHB III Corps Artillery was responsible for training, readiness, and coordination of artillery units assigned to III Corps. Throughout its history, the unit adapted to evolving doctrines and technologies, ensuring effective fire support for U.S. Army operations worldwide.

The US Military Training Mission (USMTM) to Saudi Arabia was established in 1953 as a result of a security assistance agreement between the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Its primary mission is to advise, assist, and train Saudi Arabian military forces to promote regional security and strengthen the strategic partnership between the two nations. Over the decades, USMTM has played a crucial role in modernizing the Saudi armed forces, supporting the development of their capabilities in areas such as air defense, ground operations, and naval security. The mission continues to serve as a cornerstone of US-Saudi military cooperation in the Middle East.
