These Anti-Aircraft troops provide a screen for support units, supply dumps and artillery vehicles. They are rarely deployed in combat and some commanders have serious doubts about how battleworthy they are. There are questions if they can even survive an attack by a VTOL, let alone an aerospace fighter.
