About this Unit

2:67th ADA

U.S. Army

The 2nd Battalion, 67th Air Defense Artillery Regiment (2/67th ADA) traces its lineage to the formation of the 67th Coast Artillery in 1918. Reactivated and redesignated multiple times throughout the 20th century, the 2/67th ADA specialized in air defense, operating surface-to-air missile systems such as the HAWK and later, the Patriot. The unit played a key role during the Cold War, providing air defense coverage for U.S. and allied forces in Europe, particularly in Germany. The battalion earned distinctions for its readiness and participated in numerous NATO exercises before its inactivation in the post-Cold War drawdown.
