KADENA AIR BASE, Japan-- Sgt. Eric McKinnon assigned to Bravo Battery, 1st Battalion, 1st Air Defense Artillery Regiment reunites with his family during their redeployment ceremony from U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) on Jan. 22, 2025. Bravo Battery was deployed to the USCENTCOM area of responsibility from August 2024 to January 2025 in support of 108th Air Defense Artillery Brigade's regional air defense mission. Their ability to successfully deploy from the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) area of responsibility to the USCENTCOM area of responsibility on a short notice and effectively provide integrated air and missile defense in an unfamiliar region displays the true readiness of the organization. This is the first time that Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 1st Air Defense Artillery Regiment have deployed to USCENTCOM since 2003 and marks the first time ever that a patriot battery has deployed from USINDOPACOM to USCENTCOM.
