  AIR AND MISSILE DEFENSE
  D-6. Air and missile defense is the direct (active and passive) defensive actions taken to destroy, nullify, or
  reduce the effectiveness of hostile air and ballistic missile threats against friendly forces and assets (JP 3-01).
  More precisely, ADA is the dedicated Army systems, personnel, and forces that provide active, land-based
  defense against air and missile attacks. ADA forces execute AMD operations under the joint counterair
  operational framework based on the integration of offensive and defensive counterair operations. Offensive
  counterair are offensive operations to destroy or neutralize enemy aircraft, missile launch platforms, and
  their supporting structures and systems both before and after launch, and as close to their source as possible
  (JP 3-01). Defensive counterair are all defensive measures designed to neutralize or destroy enemy forces
  attempting to penetrate or attack through friendly airspace (JP 3-01).
  D-7. During support area operations, the designated support area land owner may be task-organized an ADA
  element (SHORAD) to counter low-altitude unmanned aircraft systems, high-speed fixed-wing and rotary-
  wing aircraft, reconnaissance, intelligence, and surveillance and target acquisition assets. Table D-5 provides
  an overview of the ADA battalion capabilities that may be a tenant unit of the corps or division support area.
  For additional information on ADA battalions (SHORAD), see FM 3-01.

  AVIATION BRIGADE
  D-8. Army aviation formations are organized, trained, and equipped to support the combined arms team at
  the tactical and operational levels. Army aviation operations in the support area typically include air
  movement, aeromedical evacuation, and command and control support, but they may also include
