Soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, 265th Air Defense Artillery Regiment prepare AN/TWQ-1 Avenger Weapon Systems on March 12, 2026 prior to their exercise at Fort Polk's Joint Readiness Training Center, La. The AN/TWQ-1 Avenger is a U.S. Army, self-propelled, shoot-on-the-move short-range air defense (SHORAD) system, featuring a 360-degree rotating turret mounted on a Humvee. The system uses Stinger missiles and a .50-caliber machine gun to engage drones, helicopters, and low-flying aircraft. The unit will spend the coming weeks participating in realistic, high-intensity training scenarios to prepare for real-world combat operations (Photo by Capt. Curtis Rookard).
