Mobile antiaircraft artillery battalions were truck or tractor towed. Those armed with automatic weapons (AW) had four batteries, each with four firing sections, each section with one 40mm AA gun and one trailer-mounted quadruple caliber .50 AA machine gun, both towed by 2.5-ton trucks. Those armed with the 90mm AA gun also had four batteries with four firing sections, each section with one gun plus four single caliber .50 machine guns on AA mounts. The 90mm guns were towed by 4.5 ton tractors. For both battalion types, service elements (supply, transport, etc.) were incorporated in the headquarters battery. The 90mm gun battalion also had a fire control section equipped with gun-laying radar.

The weapons were mounted on armored halftracks in two configurations: either one 37mm plus twin caliber .50 MGs, or quadruple caliber .50 MGs. Each of the battalion's four firing batteries had eight of each type.
