HHC MICOM

The Headquarters and Headquarters Company, Missile Command (HHC MICOM), was established to provide command, control, and administrative support for the U.S. Army Missile Command at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. Formed in the 1960s during the height of the Cold War, HHC MICOM played a vital role in overseeing the development, testing, and fielding of advanced missile systems, including the HAWK, Nike Hercules, and later the Patriot and MLRS systems. The unit ensured the coordination of research, logistics, and operational requirements, supporting both national defense and international allied programs. Over the years, HHC MICOM adapted to evolving military technologies and organizational changes, remaining a central component of America’s missile and air defense capabilities.
