Marines receive new advanced air defense system as air threats loom
By: Shawn Snow  
The recent delivery of a new advanced air defense system on Thursday shows the Corps is getting serious about a looming air defense threat.
Air defense is something the Corps hasn’t had to think much about over the past 17 years in Iraq and Afghanistan, where U.S. aircraft have dominated the airspace. An advanced radar system will be pivotal to the Corps as it prepares for a potential fight with near-peer adversaries where air and ballistic missile threats are rising.
