50th AAA Brigade

The 50th Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA) Brigade was originally constituted during World War II to provide air defense against enemy aircraft threatening Allied ground forces and strategic assets. Activated in 1943, the brigade was deployed to the European Theater, supporting major operations such as the Normandy invasion and the subsequent advance into Germany. Post-war, the 50th AAA Brigade continued service during the early Cold War period, adapting to evolving aerial threats and transitioning to updated air defense systems. The unit was eventually inactivated as part of broader restructuring, but its legacy endures as a testament to the critical role of air defense in modern warfare.
