    by Gerard J. Hart
    Public Affairs Officer
    HEILBRONN, West Germany - Almost 30 years
    of Pershing history ended here on August 10 as tbe
    4th Battalion, 9th Field Artillery cased its colors for
    the last time.
    More than 1SOO guests, including 200 smior military, civilian, and German dignitaries, attended the
    inactivation ceremony held at Camp Redleg in the
    Waldheide.
    The Honorable Ve-mon A. Walters, U.S. Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany, gave the
    keynote address to the soldiers. He messed the importance of the soldiers' actions and their place in history.
    The highlight of the event was the rresentation of
    all the Command's colors in front o the reviewing
    stand. The same colors provided the background to
    the final casin~ of the colors by Lt. Col. Frank Varsolona and actmg-CSM John Dudley.
    The colors were passed from Dudley, representing
    the soldiers of 4-9, to Varsolona. He held the colors

    Artillery Command.
    Maj. Gen. Bean then gave the colors to Spec. Jen
    nifcr A. Wright, who was the last distinguished graduate of the now-<lo~ Bad Tolz NCO Academy.
    Wright marched the colors from the field, symbolically representing the departure of 4-9 FA from the
    roles of active Army units.
    In his remarks, Varsolona explained the difficult
    task of retrograding a Pershing task force.
    "There is simply no easy way to tum in I S,283
    lines of equipment valued at over 270 million dollars.
    It takes talented soldiers, solid organizations, and a
    lot of hard work," said Varsolona. "Reassigning
    t,521 soldiers and their families is a real and very important challmge. Our soldiers are our most precious
    asset.

    Maj. Gen. Bean praised the soldiers of 4-9 FA.


    "The 4th Battalion, 9th Field Artillery has set a superb standard in combat readiness and in the retrograde prouss. It will be a challenge for the remaining
    five battalions to duplicate your achievements, the
    56th FA commander stated.

    PII gets place at Smithsonian Institute


    by Genni T. Hart
    Public Affairs Offica
    Ediror's note - - The Public Affairs
    Officer 'Wt'Oft' mt' lollowinf narrarivt'
    Jrer ht' visirt:d mt' Smiduoruan Air and
    Space Mu.sewn.
    The best missile system in the world
    gained a p!au of honor in die nation's
    anic OD j Wle 20, 1990.
    The main hall in the Smithsonian Air
    and Space Musem contains most of the
    hi.stone a.irc:raft for the U.S. The Wright
    Brothers wood and canvas airplane
    which flew at Kitty Hawk; the Spirit of
    St. Louis, the X- IS; and a Mercury
    spac., capsule now have company. A
    Pershing II and Soviet SS-20 Intermediate-Range Nuclear missile now
    stand erect in that hall as teswnenu to
    the historical significance of the lntcrmcdiatc-Raoge Nuclear Forca (INF)
    Treaty.
    Oo June 20, 1990, the Smithsonian
    Nr and Space Musem dedicated the
    new display in a short ceremony attended by several different government
    agencies. In the center gallery the
    Smithsonian staff and gucsu viewed
    both the SS-20 and the Pershing II missiles together for the fim time.
    In a separate gallery, a multi-media
    di1elay outlined the INF Treaty and the
    unous compliance activities. The display showed the different missile systems affected by the treaty, where the
    missiles are located, the verification
    p roccss, and how the missiles are destroyed. A piece of the Kevlar casing
    from a Pershing and tbc steel casing
    from an SS-20 arc highlighu of the display.

    Under the terms of the IntermediateRange N uclcar Forces T rcaty, each side
    must destroy all iu gTOund bunched
    nuclear missiles with nngcs between
    SOO and S,SOO kilometers. The only exceptions arc that each party may retain
    IS missiles for static display or museum
    cxhibiu.
    According ro a Stan and Saipe$ report, the Stn.ithsonian Air and Space
    Museum requested and reaived two
    Pershing II missiles under the treaty
    provi,ions. The Smithsonian then coordinated with its Soviet counterpart lO
    exchange a Pershing II for an SS-20.
    The U. S. On-Site Inspection Agency
    assisted in the exchange by helping with
    the transfer details. The OSIA arnnged
    for th.c use of a U. S. Air Force aircraft
    to trmsport the Pershing missile to the
    Soviet Union and return with the SS-20.
    The Air Force flight was scheduled as
    part of a.n OSIA verification inspection
    of a Soviet missile site.
    The exchange of missiles involved
    training missiles only. The data pl1te on
    the Pershing missile listed it as Serial

    1111111

    Number 0039.

    Both missiles are erect, standing side


    by side. The SS-20 towe" above the
    Pershing II. According to the information plaque near the base, the SS-20
    could carry three 250-k.iloton nuclear
    warheads a distance of 4,400 kilometen.
    The smaller Pershing could only carry
    one warhead 1,800 kilometers.
    Even diough the Command's Pershings will be destroyed, at least one
    Pershing missile will serve as a reminder
    lO the American people of the importance of the Command's role in the
    peace progress.
