Missile Recovery


The missile recovery team moves downrange to collect the missile. Missiles are expensive and are often recovered to fire again and again.


The team carefully picks up the missile and places it back onto the recovery vehicle.


Once the missile has been recovered, it will be inspected carefully to see if any information can be gained from the condition of the missile.



With the fuel gone, the missile does not weigh much and can be easily be moved by only a few men.




Troops and missile are loaded onto the recovery vehicles and head back to base.
