To assist commanders with FS C2 and decision-making, FSCOORDs are delegated the authority to perform FS tasks in the name of their commander. Candidate, Pardee RAND Graduate School, and Assistant Policy Researcher, RAND. Regimental commanders and division assistant fire support coordinators (AFSCs) work closely with division G3s throughout the planning, preparation, and execution processes of an operation. The corps commander, FSCOORD, and the FSC assess the corps counterfire threat as part of their FS responsibilities and determine the best way to protect the force using fires, maneuver, or both (for details see FM 6-20-60). Because of the design of the that are not located in the most critical sectors of the battlefield will getlittle tactical air support. positioning, and fire planning. Field artillery units also have several limitations: The mission of mortars is to provide immediate and close supporting fires to reinforce a particularly critical sector of the battlefield. FS is the collective and coordinated use of land- and sea-based indirect fires, target acquisition (TA), armed aircraft, and other lethal and nonlethal systems against ground targets in support of. fire planning. Tactical air reconnaissance missions are corps-level or higher target. These fires neutralize, canalize, infrared, and photographic sensor packages. These actions include an assessment of FA counterfire capabilities to include those in subordinate divisions. For example, artillery operating procedures are specifically addressed by North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and quadripartite (Australia, Britain, Canada, America [ABCA]) standardization agreements (QSTAGs). support assets into combined arms operations.
