EXECUTION LESSON LEARNED: FSOs MUST BE AGGRESSIVE
FSOs, particularly at company level, must be aggressive!! This means they must plan in the absence of detailed guidance, supervise their subordinates, and above all, react to the changing situation on the battlefield. They cannot sit by passively, unable to observe or communicate, while they wait for their commander to tell them to move. They must take the initiative to bring fire on the enemy. Although the maneuver commander should state his intent for fire support, a good FSO will be able to devise an adequate plan on the basis of a general understanding of the operation.
