RW-8~0.JPGPATRIOT AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM112 viewsOur reunion Agenda included a visit to the Air Defense Artillery branch, which has been re-integrated with the cannon artillery branch after their 1970 "divorce" courtesy of our Pentagon geniuses. We were given an extensive education on the Patriot Missile defense system which is 30-years old, but updates have kept it in the active inventory. It is this type of defense that may protect us from enemy ICBM threats.
