Lance
 The
Lance, or MGM-52C, was the last battlefield missile deployed by
the United States Army. It was for use against large formations
of enemy armor. The missile's mobility and range made the Lance
the most formidable SRBM in the world in the 1970s and 1980s. Compared
to the Sergeant and Honest John weapons it replaced, the Lance is
an easier weapon to operate. Because its liquid fuel motor can be
fired effectively at extremes in temperature, the missile does not
require pre-launch heating systems.
