High to Medium Air Defense

HIgh to Medium Air Defense (HIMAD) is a group of anti-aircraft weapons and tactics that have to do with defense against high to medium altitude air threats, primarily aircraft and missiles. HIMAD and its complements, SHORAD (Short Range Air Defense) and THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) divide air defense of the battlespace into domes of responsibility based on altitude and defensive weapon ranges.

The following Military Occupational Specialties (MOS's) are related to HIMAD:

    gollark: If the Islamic god does exist approximately as described, I would want a better one.
    gollark: You don't. God DOES. They are omnipotent. Definitionally, they can do and can know anything.
    gollark: (this is a different argument to "does said god actually exist" obviously, but the evidence there seems to be bad too)
    gollark: I don't think they should be all-judging, and I don't think eternal torture is right ever.
    gollark: The Islamic god is claimed to be omnipotent, I think. Thus, they know *in advance* if someone is going to go to hell or not when they're created or whatever. And then create them/allow them to be created *anyway*, knowing they're bound for eternal torture because a system they created makes them get eternally tortured. Just... why?
