MGM-52 LANCE, 1st Battalion, 12th Field Artillery Tribute - Cut & Sew Tee - Fort Sill OK- Cold War Deterrent (First Lance Missile Battalion)

The First Lance Missile Battalion. Fort Sill. The Cold War's Quiet Deterrent.

Between 1972 and 1992, the MGM-52 LANCE stood as one of the U.S. Army's most capable battlefield missile systems — a short-range ballistic missile that could deliver both conventional and nuclear warheads with precision that made adversaries recalculate their options. It wasn't a weapon that fired often. It was a weapon that didn't have to.

The 1st Battalion, 12th Field Artillery at Fort Sill, Oklahoma was the first LANCE missile battalion in the U.S. Army — the unit that proved the system, trained the doctrine, and set the standard for every battalion that followed. This tribute tee honors that legacy: the quiet professionalism of Cold War deterrence, the technical precision of missile artillery, and the men who stood ready so the war never had to start.

For veterans of the 1-12 FA, Fort Sill alumni, Cold War historians, and anyone who understands that the most important battles are sometimes the ones that never happen.

Precision Construction for a Precision Unit

Crafted from 100% durable 6 oz polyester, this all-over print cut & sew tee holds its shape and color through hard use and repeated wash — just like the discipline it honors. Sewn side seams and shoulder tape keep the silhouette structured and sharp, while the ribbed knit collar maintains its form long after the last formation.

Tagless construction. No distractions. Just the graphic, the fit, and the legacy of the Army's first LANCE missile battalion behind every thread.
