USAF and Army integrate air defense capabilities during Freedom

U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade and U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 51st Security Forces Squadron search for unmanned aerial systems during a joint training scenario as part of Freedom Shield 26 at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, March 11, 2026. The training additionally emphasized the use of man-portable air defense teams, or MANPADs, if the Avenger platform becomes inoperable. Crews can remove the Stinger missile pods and deploy them as mobile teams capable of moving across the installation with security forces patrols. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Tylir Meyer)
