 I'm First Lieutenant Kelsey Krause. I am the 3rd platoon first-ever M-Shorad Striker platoon leader. So we came to test out the first tables that we created, not only with the Fire Center of Excellence but with Battalion Master Gunners, our soldiers and soldiers who have actually left our unit that were at White Sands Missile Range to determine the best gunnery tables that we could come up with, not only general knowledge, crew drills, but the actual gunnery portion that we came out and did this week with the 240 and the Stinger missiles. It went perfect. I am so proud of my soldiers. I was very confident in them from the beginning. They all executed perfectly. They were confident, knowledgeable. They asked questions when they needed to, but we didn't really have to answer any because they knew their job and they came out here and they killed it. This is light years better than the Avenger. We can maneuver. We can keep up with the forces that we're integrating with. We can use multiple weapon systems. We're not worried about a bullet going through our little box in the back. We are armored. We can keep up. We can radiate on our own. We're not relying on other forces to protect us. We can protect ourselves and do our job. This is the future of our branch. I'm very excited to see where it goes. I think Air Defense kind of fell off the face of the Army's page really past 20 years and we're making a comeback and it's very cool to be part of history. My soldiers are worthy and definitely the people to do it. I'm very proud of myself and my team for what we did out here this week. My name is Specialist Stephen Webster and I am a Shryker M. Shorat gunner. I'm with 5488 out of Ansbach, Germany. Hometown is Detroit, Michigan. This thing can take a beaten way better than an Avenger can. So I think it's years ahead of what the Avenger is. If it flies it dies. A favorite event would be the Stinger Li-Fire because it's not something that happens very often across any unit. So to be able to be a part of that is a big deal, especially on the new M. Shorat system is something amazing. I am Specialist Lily Allen and I am a gunner on the M. Shorat. As a gunner I fire the M240 Charlie Stinger missiles and a 30 millimeter. The Stinger was amazing. It was the first time firing it. Everything was squared away. I think the Stryker system overall is the one of the greatest things it could have added to ADA. The maneuverability of it, the capabilities, everything is definitely an upper hand now for ADA. This week for the first time Alphabatter tested the capabilities of the M. Shorat Stryker. We were able to fire the 7-6-2 at ground targets and then we fired three Stinger missiles out of the M. Shorat at Outlaw UAS. I think M. Shorat is a key capability moving forward. Short in general our job is to protect the maneuver force and being on a Stryker platform allows us that capability to maneuver with them, to keep up with them, and then ultimately protect them from enemy UAS, rotary ring, and fixed wing assets.
