Abstract
Recent conflicts have highlighted deficiencies in the execution of unplanned fire support for forward elements. Requests for fire support are forwarded to the providers of that fire using obsolete procedures that continue to struggle to overcome functional and service boundaries. Although our forceshave learned to overcome these challenges quickly, the execution of joint fire support continues to be an ‘ad hoc’arrangement that is confounded by equipment compatibility, doctrinal, and procedural differences. The final ‘cost’for relying on the in-place system is a significant delay between the request for fire support and the arrival of ordnance. The accuracy and effectiveness of those fires may also be in jeopardy because of the sluggish nature of the systems currently in place. The Joint Doctrine currently has already identified (Fig IV-1) the need for Joint Fires, but we haven’t effectively executed this concept yet.
