34th AAA Brigade

The 34th Air Defense Artillery Brigade (formerly the 34th Antiaircraft Artillery Brigade) traces its origins to World War II, where it was first activated to provide air defense for critical strategic assets. During the Cold War, the brigade was reorganized and played a vital role in continental air defense, adapting to evolving threats by incorporating missile technology. In the modern era, the 34th ADA Brigade has deployed in support of operations in Southwest Asia, providing theater air and missile defense for U.S. and allied forces. Today, it remains a key element of the U.S. Army's air defense capability, headquartered at Osan Air Base, South Korea, ensuring deterrence and protection against regional aerial threats.
