# Pershing missile displays

There are a number of Pershing missile displays of inert missiles in the U.S, Germany and Russia. The Pershing systems were eliminated after the ratification of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty on 27 May 1988. The treaty allowed for a total of fifteen Pershing II and GLCM missiles for display and seven Pershing IIs were retained. A number of Pershing 1 and Pershing 1a missiles are also on display.

## Current displays
### Redstone Arsenal

Redstone Arsenal, Alabama played an important role in the development, fielding and management of Pershing. The United States Army Missile Command managed the system and Ordnance officers, warrant officers and enlisted technicians were trained at the United States Army Ordnance Missile and Munitions Center and School.
A Pershing 1 missile was originally located in front of Newhall Hall near Gate 10 until 2010. It is now located at Pershing Park on Honest John Road and is mounted on a pedestal. The plaque with a launch photo originally had a photo of a PGM-11 Redstone launch; this has been corrected but the date of 1977 should be 1982. A Pershing 1a and a Pershing II that were once on display at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center are in storage on the arsenal in warehouse building 8021.
