________________ is fires that directly support land, maritime, amphibious, and
special operations forces to engage enemy forces, combat formations, and
facilities in pursuit of tactical and operational objectives (Joint Publication [JP] 3-
09.3). It requires close coordination and integration with maneuver forces.
Effective fire support requires an observer that understands the tasks to
accomplish and how these tasks support the overall operation. The observer
must be able to accurately locate targets, understand which targets to attack, and
effectively communicate what he sees to the rest of the fire support community.

Coordinated Fires - CORRECT ANSWER-Fire Support
True/False: There are five requirements for achieving accurate first-round fire for
effect. These five requirements for accurate fires are: accurate target location and
size, accurate firing unit location, accurate weapon and ammunition information,
accurate meteorological information, and accurate computational procedures.
The observer is solely responsible for the first requirement. - CORRECT
ANSWER-True
The _____________ and its elements integrate the fires warfighting function into
operations. It has resources to plan for future operations from the main command
post and to support current operations from the tactical command post (when
deployed). Additionally it has the limited capability to provide coverage to the
command group and the deputy command group when deployed. The
_____________ is the centerpiece of the targeting process, focused on integrating
both lethal and nonlethal effects. The __________ thus collaboratively plans,
coordinates and synchronizes fire support, to include Joint Fires.

________________ is executed in support of friendly forces in close enemy
contact or against enemy forces out of contact with friendly forces. Both can be
executed as either hasty or deliberate attacks and are typically supported with
integrated joint fires (ATP 3-04.1). US Army attack helicopters can also perform
close air support (CAS) in support of another component. The United States
Marine Corps (USMC) employs its attack rotary wing aviation primarily as a CAS
platform. Attack helicopters can employ precision guided munitions and provide
terminal guidance for other weapon platforms.

The _____________ has the responsibility to integrate fire support with the
scheme of maneuver, and provides the commander's intent for an operation and
issues guidance, including guidance for fire support. The ______ translates the
guidance into fire support tasks. Each fire support task and purpose directly
supports a maneuver task and purpose. They then assign responsibility of tasks
in the Fire Support Plan, assets, and priority of fires, to the observers using all
available assets. They ensure dissemination of fire support (FS) products to all
supporting assets.

A ________________ is: An entity or object that performs a function for the
adversary considered for possible engagement or other action. In intelligence
usage, a country, area, installation, agency, or person against which intelligence
operations are directed. An area designated and numbered for future firing. In
gunfire support usage, an impact burst that hits the target (JP 3-60).

Fire Support Coordination - CORRECT ANSWER-Fire Support Planning
_______________________ is the planning and executing of fires so that targets
are adequately covered by a suitable weapon or group of weapons (JP 3-09). The
FIST must maintain situational understanding at all times and monitor voice
requests for fire support within the maneuver element to prevent fratricide,
civilian and non-combatant casualties, and ensure that collateral damage is
achieved only to the level to achieve mission success, as the result of friendly fire
support. The FIST must advise the commander on any FSCMs in effect.
