Thanks for your post and your story about your granddad.

When I was in the Army air defense artillery was sure considered a combat branch. We had a section of them in my tank battalion.

I was just assuming...didn't know the definition, and Grandpa talked about it so rarely that I wasn't sure. When I think "combat troops" I think of soldiers sitting in foxholes on the front line. Stereotypical, I suppose.
