MICOM

**MICOM**, short for **Missile Command**, was established by the United States Army in 1962 at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. Its primary mission was to manage the research, development, and acquisition of missile systems, playing a crucial role in advancing U.S. missile technology during the Cold War. MICOM oversaw the development and deployment of several key missile systems, including the Redstone, Pershing, and Patriot missiles. In 1997, MICOM was reorganized and merged into the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM), continuing its legacy within a broader organizational structure.
