The MGM-29 Sergeant was an American short-range, solid fuel, surface-to-surface missile developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The missiles were built by Sperry Utah Company. Activated by the US Army in 1962 to replace the MGM-5 Corporal, it was deployed in Europe and South Korea by 1963, carrying the W52 (M65) nuclear warhead or alternatively one of high explosives. A biological warhead, the M210, was standardized but not procured, and there was also a chemical variant, the M212 which had not attained standardization. It was replaced by the MGM-52 Lance and the last US Army battalion was deactivated in 1977. Sergeant Missile Systems were usually assigned to the field army with the mission of "general support to a corps"〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o1MloQoRAQ )〕 Operation of the Sergeant was recognized to be an interim stage in the development of battlefield missiles. It avoided the Corporal's liquid-fuel-handling drawbacks, but still requiring extensive setup and checkout before launch, together with a train of semi-trailer support vehicles. More advanced missiles, such as the contemporary Blue Water and later Lance, would reduce setup time. The Sergeant had a takeoff thrust of , a takeoff weight of , a diameter of , a length of and a fin span of . The Sergeant missile had a minimum range of , and a maximum range of . The Sergeant was used as the second stage of the Scout satellite launcher, and clusters of Sergeant-derived rockets were used in the second and third stages of the Jupiter-C sounding rocket and used in the second, third, and fourth stages of the Juno I and Juno II launch vehicles. Thiokol developed the Sergeant rocket motors—and the Castor rocket stages derived from them—at the Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, Alabama.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thiokol )〕 ==Operators== ;〔http://www.usarmygermany.com/Units/FieldArtillery/Org%20Charts_Sergeant%201.htm〕 German Army *150th Rocket Artillery Battalion 1964-1976 *250th Rocket Artillery Battalion 1964-1976 *350th Rocket Artillery Battalion 1964-1976 *650th Rocket Artillery Battalion 1965-1976 ;〔http://www.usarmygermany.com/Units/FieldArtillery/Org%20Charts_Sergeant.htm〕 United States Army *2nd Bn, 30th Field Artillery Regiment 1963-1975 - Vicenza, Italy *3rd Bn, 38th Field Artillery Regiment 1962-? - Fort Sill *1st Bn, 68th Field Artillery Regiment 1964-1970 - West Germany *5th Bn, 73rd Field Artillery Regiment 1963-1975 - West Germany *5th Bn, 77th Field Artillery Regiment 1963-1975 - West Germany *3rd Bn, 80th Field Artillery Regiment 1964-1970 - West Germany *3rd Bn, 81st Field Artillery Regiment 1963-1976〔http://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1969-76ve12/d289〕 - South Korea 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MGM-29 Sergeant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
