I think that missile was the Pershing 1B. The actual Pershing III was a proposed missile to replace the LGM-118 Peacekeeper (MX) ICBM. There is also now a proposal to develop a coastal based Pershing III that could be used to counter the Chinese DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile. It would be deployed supposedly in Japan and South Korea by the US Army.
