Nah.  If you don't get shot at, it's not a combat arm.	I'll conceede
the Stinger teams in maneuver batallions are pretty much combat units,
sorta.	But if there's women in the MOS (In US Army, Canadians have
female tankers, so I've heard), it must not be combat.	11, 12, 13, 18,
and 19-series MOSes. (For non-'Mericans, that's Infantry, Combat
Engineering, Artillery, Special Forces, and Armor, including Cav
Scouts.)

I put some Laser and Missle ADS rules up on my home page, but that's
still tactical-level stuff.

For the rear echelon types which can reach out and touch someone from a
couple dozen klicks back, my first inclination is to steal a mechanic
from Stargrunt--they have Air Defense levels modelled by a few dice
rolls, since there would almost always be ADA assets or air superiority
aircraft which would influence air operations on a Stargrunt table, but
they would almost never be shown on-board.
