You could be right about this one, it might be US Army at Ft Bliss; but the
other one is 29 Palms - for sure.

Obviously, at 29 Palms, CA by USMC. Nice little rocket, guidance package
of
vacume tubes, resistors and capacators - pre transistor tech, at least
when
I was involved. Designed to be blown up, at low bid. Rayethon was prime
contractor.
Every time we went on a shoot (like thise one), the CO would tell me (the
Missle Tech Chief), "Put the best birds on the launcher". What a joke, we
always blew up the best stuff, and saved the junk for the bad guys.

i'm thinkin that's an awful lot of grass to be 29 Stumps or Irwin....

Ft Bliss or White Sands, maybe?
