  1. Fire Support Coordination • Identify the three roles of the field artillery • Identify the artillery’s standard tactical missions • Select the responsibilities of the FSCOORD • Identify where the FSCOORD is located at each echelon of command • Select the correct definition of a specified permissive or restrictive fire support coordination measure • Identify why a boundary may be permissive and restrictive in nature • Select the proper use and parameters of a FSCL

  2. FSCOORD Study Questions (1) • What are the three roles of the field artillery? • What are the four artillery standard tactical missions? • Overall, what is the FSCOORD responsible for? • At what Echelon is there not a formal Fire Support Coordinator?

  3. FSCOORD Study Answers (1) • Close support, Interdiction, Counterfire; p4 • Direct support, reinforcing, general support reinforcing, general support; p5 • Coordinate fires on surface targets; p6 • ???; p9 (chart)

  4. FSCOORD Study Questions (2) • Which area is a permissive area? • True of False – a permissive boundary allows freedom of movement within it. • Who establishes the FSCL? • (8-10 omitted b/c same as 1-3) • Where is the FSCOORD located at each echelon?

  5. FSCOORD Study Answers (2) • An area that facilitates attack of targets; p10 (FFA, FSCL, CFL) • True – I think; p10 • ???; p 23 • 8-10 omitted • Echelons above Corps – Chief DOCC FSO Chief BCD, Corps – Corps Artillery Commander, Division – DIVARTY commander, Brigade – DS FA BN CC, Battalion/Squadron – BN FSO, Company/Troop – Company FSO

  6. FSCOORD Study Questions (3) • What is the difference between permissive and restrictive fire control measures? • How is boundary both restrictive and permissive? • What is a FSCL used for?

  7. FSCOORD Study Answers (3) • Permissive – facilitates the attack of targets; Restrictive – provides safeguards to friendly forces and installations; p10/13 • Permissive b/c it allows freedom of movement within the boundary. Restrictive b/c it does not allow fires outside the boundary (except self defense); p22 • Expedite the attack of targets; p23

  8. Close Air Support (CAS) • State the definitions, purpose and conditions for effective CAS • Identify the mission of all CAS players • Recognize selected elements of CAS planning and execution • Describe CAS request process • Explain the JTAR/CAS 9-line briefing • State the responsibilities of JSTARS crew members during CAS execution

  9. CAS Study Questions (1) • Define CAS • Explain JSTARS role in the CAS planning and coordination process • Explain the purpose of the Joint Tactical Air Strike Request (DD Form 1972) • Know the difference in formal and informal airspace coordination areas (ACA)

  10. CAS Study Answers (1) • Air action by fixed and rotary wing aircraft against hostile targets which are in close proximity to friendly forces and which require detailed integration of each air mission with the fire and movement of those forces. • I am tired of guessing answers or spending time looking them up.. Find this one yourselves • Same for this one • Formal – grids and alt. Informal – terrain features

  11. CAS Study Questions (2) • List the four types of informal ACAs • Explain the content of the CAS 9-Line briefing • When is the CAS 9-line briefing given? To Who? • List the advantages of low-altitude CAS missions.

  12. Time, Lateral, Altitude and Both lat and alt • Line 1- IP/BP, line 2 – target heading from IP, line 3 – target distance from IP, line 4 – target elevation, line 5 – target description, line 6 – target location (coords), line 7 –target marks, line 8 – friendly location, line 9 – egress direction, remarks – threats, etc • Answer yourself • Lots, look at page 74

  13. CAS Study Questions (3) • List the advantages of medium altitude CAS missions • The requirement for _____ because of proximity, fires, or movement is the determining factor of CAS. • What are the two conditions that define CAS?

  14. Lots look at pg 76 • Detailed integration • Close proximity, detailed integration

  15. CAS Study Questions (4) • Which is the primary control agency of the TACS for CAS execution? • What personnel are the forward Army ground commander’s CAS expert and provide terminal control? • Which section of the Joint Tactical Air Strike Request Form is used to describe the target?

  16. ASOC • TAC • Line 3 of JTAR

  17. Specialized Missions • Forcible Entry (FE) • Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW) • Special Operations Support

  18. Specialized Missions Study Questions • Define the term Military Operations other than War (MOOTW). • Seizing and holding a military lodgment in the face of an armed opposition defines_____.

  19. Specialized Missions Study Answers • MOOTW are those military actions not associated with sustained, large-scale combat operations; p 33 • Forcible Entry; p 3

  28. Counterfire

  29. What are the four tactical missions of field artillery?

  30. Direct Support (DS) • Reinforcing • General Support-Reinforcing • General Support

  31. ____ is concerned primarily with the field artillery support needs of only the brigade they are operating with. • ____ is a tactical mission that causes one FA battalion to augment the fires of another FA battalion. • ____ is a mission that requires the FA battalion to furnish artillery fires for the force as a whole and to reinforce the fires of another FA battalion as a second priority. • A battalion assigned to this mission supports the force as a whole and stays under the immediate control of the force artillery hq. It is the most centralized of the standard tactical missions.

  32. DS • Reinforcing • GSR • General Support
