15
 The “Package”
• The combination of one or more indirect fire
agencies and close air support assets to
support the maneuver of ground units
against an enemy position
– Fires in support of maneuver
– Similar to a series of fires
– Not submitted in advance
• Uses the non-standard SEAD call-for-fire
as a framework for creating a fire plan in
support of a hasty attack 16

Guidelines for the FiST
Leader

20
 The FiST leader
• Works for the Company Commander
• FiST members work for the FiST leader
• Responsible for the operation of the FIST
and ensuring integration of all elements of
the Company Commanders’ combined arms
concept
– Integration is the coordination and deconfliction
of fires and maneuver
• Must gain and maintain situational awareness
21
Effective Operation of the FiST
• Control
– Strive for the team concept
• Simultaneous Actions
– Coordination of effort (leadership skills)
– Lack of coordination = Rushed actions
– Attack a situation with a deliberate and
methodical approach
• Communication
– Information flow
– Cooperation 22
Techniques and Procedures
for Effective Operation of the
FiST

23
 Control
• Everyone keeps the FiST leader informed of
actions taken
– Facilitates control
• Avoid getting rushed
– Rushed packages rarely work
– Missed responsibilities and tasks
– Inaccurate effects equals movement without fires
– Inaccurate CAS marks equal wasted bombs
– Smooth is fast
24
FiST Actions: Deliberate Process
• Target(s) grid(s)
• Direction to the target
• Distance to the target
• Elevation of the target
• Artillery position plotted
• Artillery gun target line (GTL) plotted
• Mortar position plotted
• Mortar GTL plotted
• Battle Board updated
• CAS 9-line plotted
• RW Battle Position plotted
• Artillery has affect on target
• Mortars have affect on target
• Corrected grids passed from artillery
passed to the FAC
• CO has passed the scheme of
maneuver
• SEAD timeline is deconflicted from
maneuver
• SEAD timeline is deconflicted from
aviation
• CO has the SEAD timeline
• CO has passed timeline to higher
• Co has passed timeline to subordinates
• Artillery FO has sent timeline to battery
• Mortar FO has sent timeline to mortars
• FAC has passed 9-line to aircraft
• Double check accuracy of timeline
• Double check deconfliction
25
 FiST Action Routines
• Develop a SOP for the FiST actions
• Get all members of the FiST working when
contact is made
– Arty FO gets grid to and elevation of targets
– Mortar FO gets direction and distance to targets
– FiST leader makes target assignments
– Arty and mortar FO begin adjustments
– FAC requests aviation and constructs 9 lines
• This creates time for the FiST leader
26
 Communication
• Everyone keeps the team informed of what
he is doing and what adjacent units are
doing
– Tracking aid for the FiST leader (information)
• Everyone “rogers up” to information and
“sounds off” when passing information
– Ensures communication
– Allows updates to the Battle Board
• Target grids, Mortar “FIRECAP” grid, “stay aboves”,
RW BPs, Shot/Splash, TOTs 27
 The Battle Board
• Everyone stays on the same “sheet of music”
– Target locations, lead trace, etc…
– Separate grids can cause confusion in the team
and for higher headquarters
• Use a “Battle Board” to display critical
information
– Belongs to the FiST leader
– Communication tool
– Focuses effort of the team
– Accurate and detailed reference 28

 Goals for Aviation
• Getting bombs on target

• Protecting aircraft from enemy and

friendly surface fires

• Purpose = to attrite the enemy as

much as possible before an assault
30
 Steps to Bombs on Target
• Acquire the aircraft
– Flares, fuel dump “squirt”, wing flash
– Draw out final attack cones
– Know aircraft tactics
• Accurately mark the target
– Redundancy
– Doctrinal procedures
– Laser designators
• Make a good correction from the mark
31
Techniques and Procedures
for Control of Aviation

32
 FiST Teamwork
• Develop FiST teamwork for CAS missions
– IP inbound
• FAC watches aircraft
• FO spots and determines corrections from the mark
(mil relation formula applies to CAS corrections)
• Everyone else scans for aircraft
• FiST members must aid the FAC in acquisition of
the aircraft
– Anticipate the need for flares, wing tip or “squirt”
– FAC lays out specific sector of the sky to narrow search
(reference terrain features)
33
– FAC should state aircraft tactics (high / low)
 The Time Crunch
• Be prepared for a time crunch
– Note time on station when an aircraft checks in
• Determine a “drop dead” time based on aircraft time
on station (15 minutes out)
• Write actual time on Battle Board
– Run a standard SEAD if not ready to set a
package TOT
– Anticipate doing a “talk on” if necessary
• Mentally rehearse how you will do it
– Strive to employ all ordnance on aircraft
34
 Aircraft Can Aid the FiST
• Use aircraft to look down range
– They can report enemy positions
– If FAC(A) capable, have aircraft fire and record
indirect fire in advance of the company
– Take over the mission when you can NOT see the
target

35
 Goals for Indirect Fires
• Accurate fires
– Arty has effects on target

• Deconfliction of fires from aircraft and

maneuver elements
– Your fires are not endangering friendly elements

• Purpose = provide effects on target in order

to support the dismounted assault
36
Steps for Accurate Indirect Fire
• Start with accurate target locations
– Use all available means at hand (map, PLGR
binos, compass, range fan, Mk-7, Tank laser
range finders)

• Use doctrinal adjust fire procedures

– The mil relation formula
– Bring impacts on line
– Then bracket range
37
Techniques and Procedures
for Control of Indirect Fires

38
 Targets
• Strive for concurrent actions
– A battery can accept two adjust fire missions
– A good FO can do two or more simultaneous
fire missions
• Apply an appropriate sheaf to the target
– Standard artillery sheaf - 100m radius
– Standard enemy platoon positions - 300m
frontage
• Never end a mission without Recording as
Target after achieving desired effects. 39
 Fire for Effect
• Always Fire for Effect before setting the
Package
– Proves effects of killing fires
– For mortars the tightness of the sheaf will
affect your ability to close to 400 meters
– Take the time to adjust if necessary

40
Mobile Enemy Air Defense Weapons
• Expect Mobile Enemy Air Defense
Weapons to Move
– If you shoot at it, it will probably displace
• Do not adjust fire onto mobile Air Defense
Weapons, Instead…
– Determine target location by
• Laser range finder (Tank, AN/GVS-5)
• Direction to target
• Your location (PLGR, map spot)
– Send target grid in SEAD mission 41
 Consider Weaponeering
• Mortars will have a low probability of hitting
the ADA/SAM target without adjusting

• Give this mission to the Arty FO and have

artillery fire this target in your timeline

• Artillery will most likely hit this target without

adjustments, because of the larger sheaf and
inherent accuracy 42
 Mortars and Types of SEAD
• Interrupted
– Effective if using only one CAS section with no
re-attacks
• Continuous
– Requires large “stay above” that makes
spotting aircraft difficult
• Non-Standard
– Requires a break in fires starting at TOT minus
30 seconds extending to at least TOT plus 2
minutes (2 minute and 30 second total gap) 43
Techniques for construction of

a “Package”

44
 Basic Guidelines: Aviation
• Always plan for employing RW and FW
CAS in the Package
– Prepare 9-lines and integrate marks
– If it does not show, you can still close under
indirect suppression
– If it does show, you will not have to scramble to
integrate it at the last minute

45
 Aviation Weapon
Considerations
• Employment of Hellfire
– Clean battlefield recommended
• An illum on deck mark is helpful to quickly orient the pilot
– Best employed at the beginning of package, before fires
obscure the target
– Allows large standoff
– Account for the time of flight to the missile (first missile
should impact at TOT not be fired at TOT)
– Consider the SDZ
– Consider effect on setting TOTs

46
 Basic Guidelines: Indirect Fire
• Attack all targets with all available assets
– Provides built in redundancy
• Marks
• Killing fires
• Illumination
– Insures against the loss of an agency

47
Indirect Fire and Aviation Safety
• When weather or aircraft ordnance
considerations prohibit the use of a “stay
above” leave gaps in artillery timeline
(SEAD interrupted)
– This can include High Drag ordnance or
aircraft cannons
– A 2 minute gap in artillery is required
– 30 sec prior to TOT and 1 min and 30 sec
after TOT
48
 Basic Guidelines: Maneuver
and Direct Fire
• Account for maneuver times in the package
– Time-space calculations
– Plan the start time for maneuver
• This indicates when indirect fires will be needed

63
 Two Tools for Integration

• The Battle Board

– Draw out the package timeline
– This is where coordination is done

• Your Map
– Plot all information
– This is where deconfliction is done

64
 Effective Coordination
• Battle Board
– Look at when aviation is engaging a target
• Indicates a need for deconfliction from indirect fires (stay above)
and maneuver ordnance minimum safe lines
– Understand when indirect fires are active and on
which target
• This indicate need for deconfliction with maneuver (routes or
timing) and aviation (stay above)
– Understand when direct fire occurs in the
sequence of events in the package
• This indicates the need for deconfliction from aviation (stay
above) 65

 Effective Deconfliction
• Look at
– Battlefield Geometry
• Friendly unit locations
• Enemy locations
• Terrain
– Attack Geometry
• Attack and Suppress the Same Target
• Attack Long / Suppress Short
• Attack Short / Suppress Long
– Scheme of Maneuver
• The goal is a complete picture 68
Battlefield and Attack Geometry
 Guidelines for Aviation
• To protect aircraft from enemy fires you must
suppress targets that can engage the aircraft

• To protect aircraft from friendly fires you

must route the aircraft around the effects of
the those fires

• The goal should be to protect the aircraft

from any potential threat 70
 Guidelines for Aviation
• The safety measure you use is a
Separation Plan
– Lateral Separation
– Altitude Separation
– Time Separation
– Altitude and Lateral Separation

• Battlefield and attack geometry are aids

71
 Guidelines for Indirect Fire
• To deconflict fires from aircraft you must:
– Look at geometry
– Determine the separation plan for aircraft with FAC
– Determine suppression requirements for maneuver
– Work “stay above/below” calculations
– Anytime you route aircraft across an active GTL, you
will need a “stay above/below” for the aircraft

• The goal should be the effective use of the

aircraft without suspending the use of
indirect fires 72
 Guidelines for Indirect Fire
• To deconflict fires from maneuver you must:
– Route maneuver around effects of fires
– Coordinate the timing of your fire with maneuver and
ordnance Minimum Safe Distances
– May affect the start time of your maneuver
– Consider mortars (no overhead fire)
– To place mortars look at the scheme of maneuver and
aviation routing
• The goal should be that your fires aid
maneuver while supporting other elements
of your attack 73

74
 FiST Positioning
• Position the FiST where it can see the
Battlefield
– Work with the CO
– Ensure everyone can see the targets
– The team should be able to see lead trace
– Need good observation of the terrain
– Tactically sound

75
 Plotting Information
• Draw Threat Rings
– Identifies enemy positions that will need
suppression in order for the company to
maneuver
– Aids in timing of fires (begin suppression)
• Draw Ordnance Minimum Safe Distances
– Identifies points for deconfliction
– May affect when maneuver can begin
– Aids in timing of fires (end indirect)
– Templates are useful 76

 Your Map
• Plot all information on your map
– Safety restrictions
– CAS 9-lines and Indirect fire agencies
– Subordinate and adjacent units
– Adjacent unit fire missions and 9-lines
– Fire support coordination measures

 Setting TOTs
• Do not set TOTs that are less than 10 min
out from the first action in your timeline
– Remember many actions are occurring
• Arty FO, Mortar FO and FAC send timeline
• FSCC approves (FSC, AirO and Arty Rep)
• FDC processes the mission
• Mortars apply mission on gun line
• Battery applies data to guns
– Anything less than 10 min to TOT is “Olympic
Class”
89
The Company Commander

90
 Guidelines
• The CO is integral to the success of the
FiST
– Three responsibilities to your FiST:
• Provide the concept of combined arms and specific
fire support requirements (will you need air support?
Duration of suppression)
– FiST leader uses this to build a package
• Provide scheme of maneuver
– FiST leader uses this for deconfliction
• Keep FiST leader informed of adjacent unit
positions, adjacent unit actions and enemy locations
91
 The FiST is responsible to the CO for:

• Information regarding all aspects of fire

support
• Executing your concept of Combined Arms
• Recommendations for deconfliction of
maneuver, supporting arms and adjacent
units
• Continuous dialog with the Co Cmdr

92
 Other Responsibilities
• You are responsible for Lateral Coordination
– FiST leader will aid
– You should have a continuous information exchange with
adjacent unit commanders
• You are responsible for giving specific
instructions to subordinate units to deconflict
them from the effects of fires
– Give detailed instructions
– Give grids for positions
– Read them in on the timeline
– Give them events as cue to action (second aviation pass)
93
Considerations for the
Company Commander

94
 Mortars
• Get mortars into position and adjusting quickly
– Provides redundancy
– You may lose your artillery support
– Give the section leader specific instructions
– Give the mortars a grid to “FIRECAP”
• Direct Lay/Align mortars when possible
• Position Considerations
– Scheme of maneuver
– Weaponeering
– Series of ammunition (resulting range limitations)
– Overhead fire (maintaining separation off of the GTL)
95
– Position wide to a flank
 Indirect Fires
• Be generous with indirect timelines in
support of maneuver
– It’s easier to “cease loading” than to extend
suppression
• Maneuver under your fires
– Set package to support maneuver
• No air / arty shows
– Close quickly under fires
– Minimize exposure and ammunition
expenditures of artillery units 96
 Lateral Coordination
• Track adjacent unit missions (Look for conflicts)
– FW attack cones
• Does your cone point at a friendly position?
– FW routes
• Does your aircraft fly over you adjacent unit’s enemy
position?
• Does your adjacent unit have an active mortar
mission that your aircraft might fly through?
– Maneuver routes
• Can the adjacent unit’s enemy kill you as you close
to your target?
97
 Coordinate your actions with
adjacent units
• Ensure your packages support each other’s maneuver
• Ensure your packages do not endanger each other’s unit
• Ensure your CAS missions do not conflict with each
other’s indirect fires
– 1. Gun target lines and aircraft routes
– 2. Attack cones and friendly positions including No Fire Areas
that maybe located forward of you position
– 3. If an adjacent enemy position can affect your maneuver
arrange to have it suppressed
– 4. Adjacent unit schemes of maneuver (i.e. Should not point at
each other)
• Always consider your actions with respect to friendly unit
positions that may be located to your front (R&S Tms,
98
etc.)
The FiST Battle Drill

99
 The FiST Battle Drill
• General sequence of events the FiST will
execute in order to bring together
Combined Arms for the purpose of
destroying an enemy
• Two stages:
– Making Contact
– Executing the Package
• Rehearsals are key to quick execution
100
 Actions Before Contact: FiST
Preparation
• Estimate of the Situation (METT-TSL)
– Identify known, suspected and likely enemy positions
• Set priority target
• Review indirect capabilities
– Artillery FO briefs priority target, location of batteries,
the munitions and charges available and displacements
plans
– Mortar FO briefs mortar capabilities, ammunition and
resulting range limitations
• Review Air Tasking Order
– FAC briefs number and type of aircraft, time on station,
101
ordnance, tanker support and preplanned 9-lines
 Actions Before Contact
• Make a tentative plan
– The FiST leader brief his concept for employment of
assets based on the FO and FAC briefs, the company’s
scheme of maneuver, battle drills and mission
– This will be the company’s basic “package”
– This should include the timeline, the number of CAS
attacks (FW and RW), targets to be attacked, targets to
be marked and mark type.
• Plot information from briefs
– Everyone including the Company Commander should
plot information from the briefs.
– Including enemy threat rings 102
 Actions Before Contact
• Make duty assignments
– For Contact:
• Who will get target location
• Who will direction to target
• Who will get distance to target
• Who will get elevation to target
– For Execution of the “package”:
• Who will spot the mark
• Who will spot aircraft
• Who will watch aircraft egress
• Rehearsals 103
 FiST Battle Drill : Making Contact-
Adjusting Fires and Building the Package
