Air Defense Soldiers shield Ground Forces from all threats above. They target and destroy any enemy that flies, tracking hostile aircraft with Sentinel Radar, reporting their positions to mission command and eliminating targets using highly mobile, highly accurate Avenger missile systems.

Prepared and trained to reload and fire missile systems, Air Defense Soldiers can eliminate anything in the air that poses a threat. If it sounds like rocket science, it is.
