Pershing Program

The Pershing Program was a U.S. military initiative during the Cold War that provided strategic missile and military aid to allies, primarily in Europe and Asia, to strengthen their defense capabilities against potential adversaries. It involved deploying ballistic missiles and related technology to enhance collective security and deterrence. The program aimed to ensure that allied nations could effectively respond to Cold War tensions, reinforcing U.S. commitments and maintaining regional stability through advanced missile systems and military cooperation.
