Army Missile Command

The Army Missile Command was a branch of the U.S. Army responsible for developing, testing, and managing missile technology for national defense. It focused on creating advanced missile systems to protect the country from potential threats, such as enemy aircraft or missiles. The command also ensured these missile systems were reliable and effective through rigorous testing and research. It played a key role during the Cold War era, contributing to the nation’s strategic deterrence. Today, its functions and responsibilities are integrated into other parts of the U.S. military's missile and space programs.
