A combined reaction nozzle and fin control servo system to provide separate reaction and fin control of a missile for both high and low velocity flight phases. The servo system automatically provides a high gas flow rate for reaction nozzle control and a lower gas flow rate for fin control. The servo system comprises a gas generator in communication with the reaction nozzles and fins, the flow of gas being regulated by a plurality of dual area piston actuators, control valves and a relief valve.
