The ''Journal of the United States Artillery'' was founded at
Fort Monroe in 1892 by First Lieutenant (later Major General)
John Wilson Ruckman and four other officers of the Artillery School. Ruckman served as the editor of the ''Journal'' for four years (July 1892 to January 1896) and published several articles therein afterward. One publication by
West Point notes Ruckman's "guidance" and "first-rate quality" work were obvious as the ''Journal'' "rose to high rank among the service papers of the world". The ''Journal'' was renamed the ''Coast Artillery Journal'' in 1922
and the ''Antiaircraft Journal'' in 1948.
