Study Notes
Effective Fire
- Fire planning considers weapon capabilities, target threats, and importance of the target
- Fire plans should allocate different weapons for different roles
- Fire can be engaged effectively on the enemy and supported units
- Typical effect duration varies according to the fire type
- Damage calculation should be approximately 50-60%, (30% in practice) with a table (AMTAB) to calculate weapon allocation
- Mortar fire is not suitable for neutralization
- Short bursts of fire are more effective than sustained fire
- Smoke and fire can obscure targets, making neutralization less effective
- Suppressing targets is the main goal of fire
- Harassing fire has lower intensity, designed to demoralize and disrupt the enemy
- Duration of effective fire depends on tactics and factors such as the tactical situation
- Fire can be 'timed' (pre-planned) or 'on call' (as needed)
- Only the person responsible for planning can modify the fire plan
- On-call fire can be used with tactical vehicles
- Quick, accurate attacks in forests and mountains depend on target observation and communication
Principles of Effective Fire
- Concentration is important in terms of rate of fire
- Surprise can be achieved by aiming for surprise attacks
- Flexibility in planning is crucial
- Coordination (co-op) among units is essential
- Economy of effort is needed to maximize the impact of the fire
- In surprise attacks, fire should be focused with suitable duration and volume of fire
- Surprise can be achieved by positioning accurately and choosing specific targets
- Belts of fire and extent are important factors in selecting targets
- Surprise can be achieved with tactical positions and timing
- Planning should include temporary positions, and fire type adjustments
- Maintaining vigilance during fire and corrections is essential for effectiveness
