Is the ADA branch going away? No, in fact, the Army’s transformation has created more Officer and Enlisted opportunities in ADA. The only major change that has caused some confusion is the movement of the ADA School. Relocated to Fort Sill, Oklahoma in 2009; it is located with the Field Artillery School to establish the Fires Center of Excellence. This move will be similar to the Armor School's move from Fort Knox, Kentucky, to Fort Benning, Georgia; where it was combined with the Infantry School to establish the Maneuver Center of Excellence. 32d US Army Air and Missile Defense Command is still located at Fort Bliss, Texas and continues its mission as a subordinate member of the United States Army's Forces Command.
Why should I choose ADA? ADA has something for everyone. Assignments range from the gamut of boots-in-the-dirt, to include Airborne and Ranger qualifications, to the most technologically advanced air defense weapon systems of our time. Most importantly, as our mission expands, you will be able to lead and work with some of the finest, most dedicated Soldiers in the world. Similar to other Soldiers, Air Defenders rotate duty positions and spend their careers serving in ADA troop assignments or in non-ADA positions or in ADA-related positions.
