Purpose

This chapter focuses on execution. The intent is to portray for the FSO how a fire support plan could be executed. This chapter addresses the following key items:

• Use of a fire support rehearsal.
• Fire support coordinating measures.
• Schedules of fire.
• COLT employment.
• Use of planned TACAIR missions.

The chapter includes two examples--one for the offense and one for the defense. The plan for each scenario was developed in Chapter 3. The example solutions are not to be considered the best or only ways to execute the plans. Instead, they are examples that demonstrate how to effectively employ and manage various fire support assets. Only brigade, battalion, and Company B targets are plotted.
