	MGM-31 Pershing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The missile was given to Army units for training in 1962 and was deployed in West Germany from June 1964 in four vehicle launch platoons.
		Although the missile's physical dimensions were kept equal to those of the Ia to retain compatibility with existing ground equipment the missile's weight was increased to 7,490 kg (16,540 lb) and the range was pushed up to 1,770 km.
		The missiles were withdrawn on October 1988; the last of the missiles were destroyed by the static burn of their rockets and subsequently crushed on May 1991 at Longhorn, Texas.

	NASM Space Artifacts: Pershing 2 Missile
		The Martin Marietta Co., is the prime contractor for the Pershing 2.
		The Pershing 2 is of the same basic configuration as the Pershing and Pershing 1a but used a much improved motors and all-weather terminal guidance system giving it increased accuracy well beyond the 400-mile range of its predecessor, the Pershing 1a.
		The greatly improved Pershing 2 began its development by 1977 with test flights made that year and in 1978 at the White Sands proving Grounds, N.M. Deployment of the Pershing 2 began in January, 1984, when it replaced the Pershing 1a in West Germany.

		In September of 1988, Pershing missiles began to be shipped back to the U.S. By May of 1991, all Pershing II missiles had been eliminated, destroyed by static-firing and then all of the ground support equipment destroyed.
		The missile, without the warhead, was carried on an erector launcher mounted on the M 474, while another M 474 carrier trailed with the warhead.
		Pershing did receive some un-sought publicity during the period when the Pershing II system was deployed, in the form of a protest movement against what was perceived as an unnecessary build-up of nuclear forces in the west.

		The Ordnance Corps forwarded the request for a medium range ballistic missile (MRBM) study to the Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA) thus generating the basic requirement for the system to be known as the PERSHING I missile.
		The first PERSHING I launch was conducted on 25 February 1960, and the first battery of the first U.S. Army PERSHING I tactical missile battalion-the 2d Missile Battalion, 44th Artillery-was activated in June 1962.
		The majority of PERSHING missile stages were burned (static fired) and then crushed, primarily at Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant, Texas, or at Pueblo Depot Activity, Colorado.

		The Pershing II was developed to replace the Pershing Ia missile, as the yield on the Pershing Ia was far too high to allow for tactical deployment.
		The Pershing II was of a similar size to the Pershing Ia and was equipped with vastly superior propulsion and guidance systems.
		The Pershing II was roughly the same size as its processor the Pershing Ia, with a length of 10.61 m and a width of 1.02 m, though it is a substantially heavier 7,400 kg.

		Studies for a solid-fueled missile with a maximum range in the 900-1400 km (500-750 nm) area were begun by the U.S. Army in 1956.
		In 1957, the studies had shown that the proposed missile was feasible, and in the same year a temporary DOD restriction which limited the Army's missiles to a range of less than 320 km (200 miles) had been cancelled.
		Pershing II was now intended as a counter to the SS-20, and its range requirement was more than doubled, to 1600+ km (1000+ miles).

		The Colorado Department of Health on Tuesday granted the Army an air pollution emission permit to burn Pershing II missile motors at its Pueblo depot to comply with an arms reduction treaty.
		The Army had been seeking the state permit since February, because the missiles must be destroyed under terms of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces treaty signed by leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union.
		The permit imposes some restrictions on the method, frequency and wind conditions for missile destruction at the depot in southern Colorado, according to John Clouse of the department's Air Pollution Control Division.
