  As an Air Defense Officer, your primary mission will be to protect the force and critical tactical and geopolitical assets.  This important task is made especially challenging by the evolution of modern tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and aircraft.
    Air Defense Artillery's unique capabilities explain why a senior Army leader, in light of post-Cold War threat environment, recently called Air Defense Artillery the "branch with the most relevance to the future."
    As an Air Defense Artillery lieutenant assigned to a forward area air defense unit operating at or near the forward edge of the battlefield, your primary job will be to move with and protect the maneuver forces.  Assigned to a corps or theater missile defense unit, you'll make engagement decisions that save critical military assets and population centers from missile and aircraft attack.
    Air Defense Artillery offers you challenging leadership opportunities and a rewarding career in a combat arm uniquely attuned to the changing nature of warfare.
