	The Chaparral was the only truly mobile weapon of this class ever fielded by the US military. It was meant as a stop gap after the cancellation of MIM 46 Mauler SAM forcing the rush development of the Chaparral and [[M163 VADS]] to cover the gap. Compared to all its contemporary peers (including the [[HMMWV_SAM\|FIM-92 Stinger]]) the Chaparral was hilariously crude, being little more than a mobile missile rack that relied entirely on the tracking and guidance systems of the Sidewinder missile. All units were removed from service in 1994 and the unit never saw combat service. A navalized version of the launcher turret was sold to Taiwanese navy.

	Although the direct replacement for the Chaparral was the Stinger missile (either in its handheld version or scaled up as a box launcher), in practice it was replaced by the much larger MIM-104 Patriot, who's effective range in ''Team Yankee'' scale would be roughly ''local game store''. What happened was a paradigm change. The introduction of the E-3 Sentry with its advanced radar meant that flying close to the ground could no longer protect helicopters and attack planes; they'd be seen early and hunted with fighters. The ground based air defense refocused on shooting down missiles (although they were perfectly capable of shooting down planes too). The organization of the air defense artillery brigades and their outfitting with patriot missiles occurred in the early 80's and would be largely complete by ''Team Yankee'' but the concept hadn't been proven in combat and wouldn't be until the Gulf War.
