What's inside:

The mission of air defense artillery is to protect the force and selected geopolitical assets from aerial attack, missile attack, and surveillance. FM 44-44 is the doctrinal forward area air defense (FAAD) manual for the Avenger platoon, section, and squad. It explains how Avenger provides air defense for the force and survives on the battlefield.

This manual also details tactics, techniques, and procedures used by the Avenger platoon when engaged in decisive offensive and defensive operations. Most importantly, it describes how Avenger platoons, sections, and squads protect deploying or deployed forces and critical assets by preventing enemy aerial platforms (unmanned, rotary, and fixed wing) and missiles from locating, striking, and destroying them.

This manual is required reading for commanders, platoon leaders, platoon sergeants, and section and squad leaders who will direct and supervise the employment of Avenger weapon systems. Other recommended essential reading includes:

• FM 7-8 Infantry Rifle Platoon and Squad
• FM 7-20 The Infantry Battalion
• FM 7-30 Infantry, Airborne, and Air Assault Brigade Operations
• FM 44-43 Bradley Stinger Fighting Vehicle Platoon and Squad Operations
