248th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion (Missile) 1948–1957 (Early Cold War / Korea) The 248th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion (Missile) was constituted and activated during the early Cold War period as part of the U.S. Army’s expanding air defense network. The unit was organized to provide missile-based anti-aircraft protection for critical infrastructure and population centers in the United States, reflecting the Army’s transition from conventional gun-based air defense to missile technology in response to evolving aerial threats. The battalion was equipped with surface-to-air missile systems and participated in training and readiness exercises to maintain operational proficiency. The unit was eventually inactivated as part of broader Army air defense reorganization efforts in the late 1950s.
