It also provides SAW support for units engaged in special and independent operations. Each LAAD firing team has the mission to protect the supported unit from attack by aircraft. LAAD operations are provided by the LAAD battalion or battery under the Marine air control group within the Marine air wing. LAAD units are often task-organized to support the entire spectrum of Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) contingencies. ORGANIZATION The firing team is the LAAD battery's basic combat unit. (See fig. 1-1 on page 1-2) It consists of a team leader and assistant gunner! driver.
