And it will turn red if the air unit is too beat up to provide this automatic interception.

Ah - so that's also why it disappears when you toggle the unit from "Full Support" to "Mission Only"

Look.
Somebody please man'splain these to me again. What the button figures are when they are displayed and the pop-up label on it. Does that refer to what the unit is NOW, or what you can switch it to. I don't get it and I've played this game a lot.

Tooltips show the current mission (at least for air units).
