Air Defense Battalion is Hiring Team Leaders and Soldiers

The Air Defense Battalion manages the combat units 61st and 62nd Air Defense Battalions and is now continuously seeking employed team leaders and soldiers. The Air Defense Battalion is in a significant growth period as we have recently introduced the Air Defense System 103/PATRIOT with supporting units. As a continuously employed GSS, you will be placed in the Air Defense Battalion's 103rd Company, which manages functions within air defense, command, communication, logistics (supply/maintenance), technology, and ground combat. The company consists of a combat control platoon, a launcher platoon, and a headquarters and supply platoon. During field grouping, these platoons are assembled into a battery (fire unit). During garrison duty, the platoons are primarily trained individually within their respective functions.

LAUNCHER PLATOON 103

The launcher platoon consists of six launcher groups and a missile handling group. The task of the launcher groups is to group and operate the launchers within the framework of the battery's mission. The main duty as a launcher soldier includes being part of the platoon's hot crew, which, under constant readiness, can support the execution of missile reloading and refueling of the system units. As a soldier in the missile handling group, your main duty is to prepare and carry out the reloading of missiles that have been fired from the platoon's launchers using a crane. The launcher platoon often constitutes the battery's close protection with armored all-terrain vehicles and frequently carries out various types of surveillance tasks in the field. As a launcher soldier, you will solve a variety of tasks that over time enable the system's effectiveness in the air.
