The 3rd Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment (3-4 ADA) is a distinguished air defense unit of the U.S. Army and a key component of the 82nd Airborne Division. Its lineage traces back to the early 19th century, with participation in major conflicts such as World War II, where elements provided critical anti-aircraft support. Reassigned to the 82nd Airborne Division, 3-4 ADA has since specialized in rapid deployment and short-range air defense, protecting airborne forces against aerial threats. The battalion has supported numerous operations, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, demonstrating its commitment to safeguarding ground forces in both combat and peacekeeping missions.
