History

-...

The introduction of shaped-charged rocket launchers in the GVAW changed the nature of armored warfare forever. For the first time, it was possible for one man, armed with a shoulder-launched weapon, to bring down a tank by himself. Weapons like the RDM-9 "Bazooka" and the RPGL-6 were heavily employed in the war, with rocket launcher-equipped troops taking out countless vehicles.

The power delivered by such shoulder-launched weapons convinced both the Allies and the Voshkod to examine their tactics after the war. However, where Allied forces continued to emphasize the mobility of armored forces, the development of shoulder-launched anti-tank weapons convinced the tank designers of the Voshkod to focus on improving the armor and protection of tanks. With the Voshkod focus on tank protection, advancements in armor technology soon made the anti-tank weapons of the wartime period obsolete. In order to keep up with the increasingly heavily armored tank designs of the Voshkod, the Allies started to develop newer, more powerful anti-tank weapons.

In keeping with the belief that the ADI should have the best equipment available, the rocket soldiers (as they had come to be known) of the ADI would have to be equipped with the best anti-tank weapons available. The ADI issued a requirement for an anti-tank weapon capable of defeating the armor of Voshkod main battle tanks, and the eventual result was the FGM-90 Multipurpose Rocket Launcher.

Because the FGM-90 was introduced immediately before the start of the war, such weapons could only be issued in small numbers initially. However, the new weapons soon proved their effectiveness in the hands of the ADI rocket soldiers, who employed them to devastating effect against Voshkod Rhino tanks and the newer Kodiaks. This only convinced the ADI to hasten the replacement of existing anti-tank weapons in the ADI Divisions with the new FGM-90. By 1967, most, if not all ADI units had been equipped with FGM-90 squads, to the extent that rocket soldiers began to be referred to as Missile Squad instead.
