M-2 (MGM-5) Corporal
Army
Tactical Ballistic Missile

The Army's Corporal was the first U.S. ballistic missile. Originally developed by the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, California, it was powered by a liquid-fuel rocket engine and carried either a high explosive or nuclear warhead. A surface-to-surface missile, Corporal was fired from a launching pad, where it was placed by a self-propelled, electrically powered transporter-erector. Control was by command guidance system. After firing, minor corrections were made to the trajectory to ensure accuracy. Range was around 75 miles at Mach 3. 

A research version called the WAC Corporal, mounted as the second-stage atop a German V-2 rocket launched from White Sands, New Mexico, set an altitude record in February 1949, reaching nearly 250 miles into space.
