Listen to Romainan 1LT Marin talk about his experience training with our Air Defenders during #SABERSTRIKE, a sub-exercise of #DEFENDER24.

From April 21 to 22, the 5-4 ADA, alongside the Romanian “Sky Defenders” air defense unit, successfully engaged aerial targets side by side. The fire support coordination exercise, a live-fire exercise, was designed to incorporate direct fire, indirect fire, air defense, and attack aviation, involving multiple NATO allies and partners. This exercise not only developed integrated air and missile defense but also provided an opportunity to showcase the U.S. Army’s newest air defense platform, the M-SHORAD, with its multiple capabilities to support maneuver forces, a testament to our collective success.
