35 th ADA

The 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade (35th ADA) traces its origins to its activation during World War II, where it played a crucial role in the air defense of the European Theater. Over the decades, the brigade evolved to meet changing threats, transitioning from anti-aircraft artillery to modern missile defense systems. During the Korean War and the Cold War, the 35th ADA provided critical air defense support in the Asia-Pacific region. Today, stationed in South Korea, the brigade operates advanced Patriot missile systems, serving as a key component of the United States’ and allied defense against aerial threats on the Korean Peninsula.
