<< I would think that HAWK and Patriot are still relatively close to

forward area. Things like THAAD (Theater High Altitude Air Defense)
would more in the area you are mentioning.
Hawk and Patriot are used to attack Helos and other lower patrolling
aircraft on divsional levels. With Stinger and Avenger providing
manuver unit coverage >>
Hawk was a corp level asset, Patriot a theater level asset (mind you
this was
about five years ago). So these type of systems would be off board in
DSII.
Chaparral was divisional (now long gone). Avenger is just Stinger on
wheels
(there's no increase in range or accuracy). These may be parcelled out
to a
battalion task force (a DSII sized battle).
