The Fires Warfighting Function
{"Image DocumentName": "The Fires Warfighting Function", "Image ImageDescription": "The fires warfighting function is the related tasks and systems that provide collective and coordinated use of Army indirect fires, AMD, and joint fires through the targeting process (ADP 3-0). Army fires systems deliver fires in support of offensive and defensive tasks to create specific lethal and nonlethal effects on a target. The fires warfighting function includes the following tasks: Deliver fires. Integrate all forms of Army, joint and multinational fires. Conduct targeting. ADP 3-09 brings Field Artillery and Air Defense Artillery together under one warfighting function, evolving the world\u2019s most versatile fires force to incorporate Army indirect fires, air and missile defense (AMD) and Joint Fires including Electronic Attack (EA). The fires warfighting function includes tasks associated with integrating and synchronizing the effects of Army indirect fires, AMD, and joint fires with the effects of other warfighting functions. Fires combine the use of air and ground artillery with the capabilities of other Army warfighting functions, special operations forces (SOF), joint forces, and unified action partners to enable the supported commander to seize the initiative. Army forces plan for, integrate, coordinate and synchronize the fires capabilities (sensors and weapon systems) of unified action partners. into the concept of operations to achieve synergy, develop a common operational picture (COP), and enable joint interdependencies from the tactical to strategic levels. The warfighting function includes planning for targeting; providing fire support; countering air, ballistic missile, cruise missile, rocket, artillery, mortars, and unmanned aircraft systems threats; and integrating joint and multinational fires.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
