Fires and The Operational Framework
{"Image DocumentName": "Fires and The Operational Framework", "Image ImageDescription": "DECISIVE-SHAPING-SUSTAINING FRAMEWORK. Decisive Operations \u2013 preparation fires, close support fires, interdiction, SEAD, final protective fires, electronic attack, and counterfire. Shaping Operations \u2013 disrupt or destroy enemy attacking echelons, and capabilities, limit enemy ability to shift forces or capabilities, and sustain momentum of attack. Sustaining Operations \u2013 protect and enable friendly forces to retain freedom of action. Fires provide a collective and coordinated use of Army indirect fires, AMD, and joint fires in support of operations no matter how the unit defines and describes the operational framework. Fires contribute to the overall effect of maneuver in which commanders use them separately in decisive, shaping, and sustaining operations to directly influence the mission objectives. Decisive operations lead directly to the accomplishment of a commander\u2019s purpose (ADP 3-0). Fires supporting decisive operations include preparation fires, close support fires, interdiction, Army support to offensive counterair (OCA)/DCA, AMD, final protective fires, electronic attack, and counterfire. Fires in the decisive operation integrate and synchronize weapon systems and sensors to achieve lethal and nonlethal effects in support of the scheme of maneuver. Shaping operations create and preserve conditions for the success of the decisive operation (ADP 3-0). Fires in support of shaping operations disrupt or destroy the enemy\u2019s attacking echelons and fire support, mission command, and logistic infrastructure. Fires may be used to limit the enemy\u2019s ability to. shift forces to meet attacking friendly maneuver forces and to sustain the momentum of the attack. Fires in sustaining operations protect and enable friendly forces to retain freedom of action. Fires must be responsive and positioned to attack and disable enemy forces or any potential threat.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
