Garrison Practice Test

The AGM-65 missile system is commonly known by the nickname "Maverick." This designation reflects its design and purpose as a tactical air-to-ground missile intended for precision strikes against a variety of targets, including armored vehicles and buildings. The Maverick was developed to provide combat pilots with a reliable means of delivering significant firepower with accuracy, making it a key asset in aerial warfare. Its effectiveness and versatility have made it a prominent choice in military operations since its introduction.

The other names refer to different missile systems: "HARM" corresponds to the AGM-88 High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile, designed to target and destroy enemy radar installations; "Hellfire" refers to a missile type primarily used against armored vehicles and is commonly deployed from unmanned aerial vehicles and helicopters; and "Griffin" is a smaller precision-guided munition, often used for close air support. Each of these systems has distinct roles and capabilities, but they are separate from the AGM-65 Maverick.
