4th Battalion 44th AD Artillery Camp Intercept Korea

The 4th Battalion, 44th Air Defense Artillery (ADA), stationed at Camp Intercept, Korea, was a key component of the United States' air defense posture on the Korean peninsula during the Cold War. Activated in the 1960s, the battalion was equipped primarily with Nike Hercules surface-to-air missiles, tasked with providing protection against potential aerial threats from North Korea. Throughout its tenure, the unit participated in numerous joint exercises with Republic of Korea forces, enhancing interoperability and readiness. The battalion remained vigilant until its deactivation in the late 1970s, reflecting broader changes in U.S. force structure and missile defense technology in the region.
