COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado — Amid ever-increasing threats from around the world, 2017 was a seminal year for United States missile defense.
The Soldiers of the 100th Missile Defense Brigade (Ground-based Midcourse Defense) experienced a productive — and demanding — year, and one Soldier was recognized for his efforts.
Each year, the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance names the best missile defender from the Army, Navy, Air Force and National Guard based on excellence in leadership and personal effort, demonstrating their commitment to excellence and their critical role in missile defense. On Jan. 12, that honor was presented to Capt. Jason Brewer, the operations officer in charge of the 100th Missile Defense Brigade, who was named the 2017 National Guard Missile Defender of the Year.
