Seven years after our reactivation in Japan, the brigade continues to prove its speed, strength, and resolve. This year, we showcased our ability to rapidly move weapon systems and deliver early warning across the Indo‑Pacific—defending our people, safeguarding critical assets, and standing shoulder‑to‑shoulder with allies against regional threats.
We remain the world’s premier air defense brigade: a team of leaders at every rank, united by a commitment to people first and mission always. Soldier and family readiness is our foundation, ensuring we’re prepared to care for our own while serving forward in this vital theater.

The Pacific Guardian Magazine is the official year-in-review, bilingual (Japanese/English) publication of the 38th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, published annually on the anniversary of the unit's historic reactivation ceremony at Sagami General Depot, Japan Oct. 31, 2018. The first of its kind for the unit will continue to be a tradition to help document the unit's mission and key highlights annually.
