ARMY TACTICAL MISSILE PREP IN KOREA: Great photo of a U.S. Army MLRS battery firing an ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) precision surface to surface missile. The rocket battery is deployed on a beach in South Korea. In 1997 I participated in a Ballistic Missile Defense Organization exercise. The exercise included using ATACMS to destroy a a couple of mobile SCUD launchers — before the launchers erected and fired their missiles. ATACMS has a range of over 160 kilometers.
