The Air and Coastal Defense Command, known by the abbreviation ACDC, is the anti-aircraft and coastal defence force of the Royal Thai Navy. It is made up of two air defence regiments and one coastal defence regiment, and its headquarters is at Sattahip in Chonburi Province. Its personnel are mainly artillerymen, but they are also trained in self-defence skills for the case where a fire base is attacked or attacked while moving, and in protecting equipment, facilities and operations from threats or hazards. After a government resolution in 1988 widened the navy's responsibilities, the navy upgraded its Department of Air and Coastal Defence to this command on 13 August 1990, which it marks as its anniversary.
