The battle record of the 174th ADA consisted of battle honors earned during the Civil War, WWI, and WWII. However, since the events of 911 the regiment has sent batteries to protect the National Capitol Region using Avenger and Stinger missile systems and has become the core of the 174th ADA Brigade. These battalions of the Ohio National Guard have protected Washington DC from another 911.

During Desert Shield and Desert Storm the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Air Defense Artillery deployed with the Hawk surface-to-air missile system. Among many of the incidents that took place was The Big Jump West, the destruction of one of the HIPIRs, scud alerts, a chemical "attack" and the slow convoy north into Iraq. 2-1 ADA was also equipped with the Alpha system, a secret weapon which used passive monitoring to detect and destroy enemy aircraft.

This Florida National Guard unit was deployed to Alaska to protect the newly-liberated Aleutian Islands from Japanese air attack in WWII. While not deployed for GWOT the unit did return to Alaska during the post-911 period as part of a Stinger-Patriot task force.

The 213th ADA has campaign credits from the Mexican War, the Civil War, WWI and WWII. This Pennsylvania National Guard unit was most recently deployed to the Netherlands and Belgium in order to provide air defense against possible terror attacks in 2002. Since then the unit has been redesignated a Support Group and has been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.

The 138th ADA only goes back to the 1980s. Its National Guard units had little in the way of battle honors and was largely inactive until the Global War on Terror. Since then soldiers of the 1-138th (INNG) have served in GWOT and earned a citation.

The 6th ADA's lineage includes duty in the Philippines, WWII Europe and the Pacific and Vietnam. 6th ADA became the core of the School Brigade at Fort Bliss, responsible for training Air Defense units in everything from Vulcan to Spartan. The 6th's unit crest comes in both left and right versions.

3rd ADA was originally organized as an artillery unit during the War of 1812. It was reorganized as Coast Artillery Corps during the Spanish-American War, when it was thought that foreign navies might attempt to strike the United States. Units saw service in WWII and the Korean War.

The 200th Air Defense Artillery was organized in New Mexico as a volunteer regiment to fight Indians and later served at the Battle of Santiago in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. They also saw combat during WWI, but it is WWII that saw the regiment enter into the history books and glory. By then the regiment was an antiaircraft unit deployed to the Philippines to prop up U.S. defenses on the island. Shortly after the attacks on Pearl Harbor the Japanese attacked Clark Field. Even though the antiaircraft guns of the New Mexico National Guard could not prevent the attack the Japanese did suffer losses. The gunners suffered later during the Bataan Death March. The regiment has had most of its units redesignated since 911.

The 43rd ADA was established to provide heavy railway artillery for the AEF during WWI, where it provided credible service on the Western Front. In WWII its batteries saw action in France and Germany as well as the Pacific. In the 1980s 43rd ADA battalions were reactivated and equipped with the then-new Patriot surface-to-air missile system and during Operation Desert Storm units of the 43rd Air Defense Artillery made history when they successfully intercepted an Iraqi ballistic missile in combat. 43rd ADA batteries have since served in Operations Southern Watch and Iraqi Freedom.
