Bruce A. Bredlow, the 52nd ADA\u2019s first commander, in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur mission here in Europe is uniquely rewarding thanks to our ability to work closely with NATO on a regular basis,\u201d Bredlow added. \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to building new connective tissue at the tactical level with our Allies and partners and expanding our combined capacity through interoperability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new air defense brigade was first announced by President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2022\/09\/19\/us-troops-will-defend-taiwan-if-china-invades-biden-says\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joe Biden<\/a> at the NATO summit in Madrid, Spain, in June. He said that the Pentagon was stationing more air defenses in Germany and Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 52nd ADA will assume responsibility for the 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, near Ansbach, Germany; the future 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, which will also be based near Ansbach; the 5th Battalion, 7th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, based in Baumholder, Germany; the 11th Missile Defense Battery, based in Turkey; and the 13th Missile Defense Battery, based in Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has been gradually expanding air defenses in Europe since about 2019, when the 10th AAMDC was upgraded to a one-star command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previously, the role of brigade headquarters over the air defense battalions in Europe was filled on a rotational basis by Army National Guard units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAdding the active-duty brigade headquarters along with the new 1-57 short-range air defense regiment to theater adds significant capacity to the U.S. contribution to the Alliance\u2019s ground-based air defense in EUCOM,\u201d the U.S. Army Europe and Africa statement reads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biden announced this new air defense artillery brigade at the NATO summit in Madrid
