The 2nd Battalion, 52nd Air Defense Artillery Regiment (2-52 ADA) traces its lineage to the original 52nd Coast Artillery, constituted in 1917. Over the decades, the unit has been reorganized and redesignated multiple times, serving in both World Wars and later transitioning to air defense artillery roles. During the Cold War, 2-52 ADA provided critical air defense in Europe, operating missile systems to protect NATO forces. In recent years, the battalion has deployed to the Middle East and the Korean Peninsula, providing Patriot missile defense against aerial and missile threats, and continues its mission as a key component of U.S. Army air and missile defense operations.
