Book Description
Field Manual (FM) 3-09 is the Army's keystone doctrine for fire support. This manual is a guide to action for the employment of fire support in decisive action as a part of unified land operations. The foundation of unified land operations is built on initiative, decisive action, and mission command-linked and nested through purposeful and simultaneous execution of both combined arms maneuver and wide area security-to achieve the commander's intent and desired end state (Army Doctrine Publication (ADP) 3-0).The challenges of future armed conflict make it imperative for the Army to produce leaders and forces that exhibit a high degree of operational adaptability. Achieving the necessary level of operational adaptability requires the Army to build upon a foundation of two broad responsibilities within the framework of fullspectrum operations:- Army forces conduct combined arms maneuver (CAM) to gain physical, temporal, and psychological advantages over enemy organizations. Applying an expanded understanding of combined arms, Army forces integrate the combat power resident in the Army's six warfighting functions with a wide array of related civil and military capabilities to defeat enemies and seize, retain, and exploit the initiative. - Army forces conduct wide area security (WAS) to consolidate gains, stabilize environments, and ensure freedom of movement and action.This publication identifies the principles of fire support, describes the fires warfighting function in terms of its major components, functions, and required products and describes how fire support is employed in terms of the operations process. The scope of this publication is broad in its focus in order to deal with the fire support structure as a complete entity. It gives equal treatment to the diverse assets that are designated as fire support resources. The successful employment of fire support depends on the synchronization of all forms of fire support with all warfighting functions. This fire support keystone doctrinal manual should be used by commanders and staff who must employ fire support within their operations.Army forces are employed with other Services as part of a joint force. Consequently, this FM is not only based on ADP 3-0, but is also grounded in joint doctrine such as found in JP 3-0, JP 3-09, and JP 3-60. Fire support is provided by mortars, cannon field artillery, rockets, missiles, naval surface fire support (NSFS), non-Army attack helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, and unmanned aircraft systems. Fire support may be enhanced by those systems that enable the conduct of electronic attack.This publication describes the field artillery as the principal means of fire support available to the commander, and charges the field artillery to integrate, coordinate and synchronize all available fire support with the commander's concept of operations. This is the ultimate challenge of fire support. This FM helps commanders and their fire support staff officers and fires unit commanders meet this challenge by providing a clear and concise picture of fire support and why it must work as a unified system.

Book Description
In response to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the Army's plan to provide interim automated fire support capabilities for its light and heavy divisions. GAO found that, in the early 1980's, the Army provided most heavy divisions and one light division with an automated artillery fire command and control (C2) system. The Army is developing a new system with improved mobility and capability called the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS); however, most of the light divisions do not have an automated fire support C2 capability and AFATDS is not scheduled to be fielded before 1990. In determining the interim solution for light divisions, the Army must decide between low-cost and low-risk equipment with limited capability and a system which would provide greater capability at increased cost and fielding time. Although the Army did not plan to upgrade or replace the heavy divisions' capabilities until after it fielded AFATDS it funded an interim improvement program for some elements of heavy division equipment. If major problems occur in AFATDS' development, the Army could improve fire support C2 with the use of the Light Field Artillery Tactical Data System for the heavy divisions, but that would not fully meet heavy divisions' requirements. GAO believes that Congress should: (1) ask the Army to fully explain the trade-offs between the lower-cost equipment and the more capable AFATDS solution; and (2) consider reducing the Army fiscal year 1987 request for AFATDS or restrict the use of funds.

Book Description
Training Circular (TC) 3-09.81, "Field Artillery Manual Cannon Gunnery," sets forth the doctrine pertaining to the employment of artillery fires. It explains all aspects of the manual cannon gunnery problem and presents a practical application of the science of ballistics. It includes step-by-step instructions for manually solving the gunnery problem which can be applied within the framework of decisive action or unified land operations. It is applicable to any Army personnel at the battalion or battery responsible to delivered field artillery fires. The principal audience for ATP 3-09.42 is all members of the Profession of Arms. This includes field artillery Soldiers and combined arms chain of command field and company grade officers, middle-grade and senior noncommissioned officers (NCO), and battalion and squadron command groups and staffs. This manual also provides guidance for division and corps leaders and staffs in training for and employment of the BCT in decisive action. This publication may also be used by other Army organizations to assist in their planning for support of battalions. This manual builds on the collective knowledge and experience gained through recent operations, numerous exercises, and the deliberate process of informed reasoning. It is rooted in time-tested principles and fundamentals, while accommodating new technologies and diverse threats to national security.

Book Description
Since the early 1970's, mortars have not complemented the Marine Corps Artillery Table of Equipment (TE). Expeditionary Fire Support System (EFSS) program will acquisition a mortar into service within the Marine Artillery community. This is not a new concept, but one that the Marine Artillery units will revisit. Thirty years ago 107mm Mortar, Whiskey Battery's supported Marine infantrymen in the close fight. In Fiscal Year 2006, Marine artillerymen will assume their positions behind a mortar to provide close fire support to Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU) in the Ship to Objective Maneuver (STOM) mission. Marine Artillery must be prepared to support all units with fire support in a non-linear battlefield. EFSS will support the ever changing battlefield and be the flexible fire support system that remains in the fight. Former Commandant of the Marine Corps, General James L. Jones, stated, In the past 10 years or so, we have decreased our fire support systems too far. We got rid of a lot of our artillery weapons in the name of efficiency, in the name of mobility& We have atrophied our Marine ground fires inventory to a dangerous point. We're out-gunned and out-ranged by just about everyone. So I am fixing the artillery-bringing robustness back to the Marine Artillery.
