HAPPY BIRTHDAY ORDNANCE!
The United States Army Ordnance Corps is one of the oldest branches of the U.S. Army, founded on May 14, 1812. However, the duties and responsibilities of the profession date back to the colonial era.
Since that time, the Ordnance Corps has served a pivotal role in the American Army, from building weapons used during the Civil War to organizing the first Bomb Disposal Units in WWII.
