    Spc. Kyle Sheridan, 3rd Battalion, 13th Field Artillery Regiment, 75th Fires Brigade, Fort Sill, Okla., grooms Dinges, a horse in the Fort Sill Field Artillery Half Section, Aug. 17. During a brief ceremony at Fort Sill, Field Artillery Half Section personnel gathered to publicly recognize and honor Dinges, who joined the half section in 1989. Fort Sill's Field Artillery Half Section is the only horse-drawn artillery unit in the U.S. Army and one of only seven Army equestrian special ceremonial units. It is an authentic representation of half of an artillery section of the late 1920s. After 21 years of service, Dinges will retire to the Spirit Horse Chisholm Trail Therapy Center in Comanche, Okla. At the age of 28, Dinges will continue to serve the community through service with special needs children in the southwest Oklahoma area. (U.S. Army photo by Jason Kelly)
