			Air Defense Artillery (ADA) in the 1980s was broken down into two parts, Anti-Air Artillery (AAA) made up of conventional Anti-Air guns (like the the [[M163 VADS]]) and Surface to Air missiles (SAMs). Intially the SAM component was provide by the [[M48 Chaparral]], but as Man Portable Air Defense missile (MANPAD) technology became more advanced, they began to take over. In the early days, Stinger platoons zipped around the battle zone in the iconic JEEP, but once the HMMWV was introduced they quickly replaced the older vehicles. ADA Battalions were often assigned to armored divisions with the various Batteries (the ADA's special name for a company) being dolled out to the Armored and Mechanized Battalions to provide local Air Defense.

	In reality soldiers would dismount their vehicle before using their missile, but you could fire it out the top if needed, trading accuracy and comfort for speed in manuever warfare. That or use the [[wikipedia:AN/TWQ-1_Avenger\|Avenger Air Defense System]]! I mean its 1985 and the Avenger as a private venture was finishing its prototype testing in May of 1984 after 10 months of testing. Seriously that went better than the [[M247 Sergeant York]] debacle.

This would be avoided in most games, but at 25 points and below, these are actually really good units!
