AIR DEFENSE ARTILLERY

Air Defense officers are expeditionary-minded combat arms leaders who work both independently and as valuable team members within complex Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational (JIIM) environment. Masters of their technologically-advanced weapons systems, they instinctively employ ADA principles to deliver fires and defend designated assets. ADA officers understand both maneuver and Joint operations. They are culturally astute, able to use their understanding to conduct operations innovatively across the globe. Physically fit, mentally tough and inspirational, Air Defense leaders generate confidence in their Soldiers and supported units. They are problem solvers in complex tactical, operational, and strategic environments who can make sound decisions and accomplish multiple simultaneous tasks. Leveraging their interpersonal skills, Air Defense officers must effectively communicate requirements and advise supported units. Given the dispersed nature of Army air defense unit, officers must be self-starters who can operate based on intent.
