Air Defense.

Light. Teams with an FAV or XR-311 (I prefer Humvees M998 for this) The FAV doesn't have a ring mount, it has a roof rack instead. Lights are MANPADS (Man Portable Air Defense Systems.) They will be using FIM-92A Stinger missiles in the portable shoulder fired configuration to protect Morrow assets and refugees.

Medium, Teams with the V-150 PIVAD. This is the M163 Product Improved Vulcan Air Defence mounted on a V-150 chassis. This team will also employ MANPADS to extend their range and add flexibility.

Heavy. MIM-72 / M48 Chaparral Forward Area Air-Defense System [FAADS]. A system considered short range by the US military, this system provides a heavier hitting missile for engagement of threats to Morrow assets and protected refugees.

These systems coupled with LSDIS and Sentinel Radar teams provide coordinated coverage.
