Lot Essay

The US Army’s Sergeant, a highly mobile guided ballistic missile, will be the successor to the four-year-old Corporal. The 30 foot long missile utilizes a solid propellant rocket motor and can be quickly emplaced and fired by a small crew under all conditions of weather and terrain. It is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and is invulnerable to any known means of countermeasures.
