U.S. Army Soldiers of 1st Battalion, 188th Air Defense Artillery Regiment participate in the noncommissioned officer induction ceremony during the unit's Saint Barbara's Day Ball, Dec. 7, 2024, at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Saint Barbara, revered as the patroness of those facing thunderstorms, fire, explosions, and sudden death, has been a symbol of protection for artillerymen since the early days of warfare, when crews faced cannon misfires, muzzle bursts, and weapon explosions, making her an enduring part of the Field Artillery’s heritage.
