Chapter 7 FIRE SUPPORT TEAM 7-4. A FIST is an FA team organic to each maneuver battalion and the squadron to plan and coordinate all available company/troop supporting fires, including mortars, FA, naval surface FS, and CAS. The squadron commander can direct that FISTs be task-organized within the squadron and employed according to the observation plan. Fire support teams employed at the DRT level can provide the troop with FS coordination, targeting, and assessment capabilities. Each FIST vehicle possesses a target acquisition/communications suite with a laser capability to accurately locate targets or designate them for laser-guided munitions. DISMOUNTED RECONNAISSANCE TROOP FIRE SUPPORT OFFICER 7-5. The FSO is the troop’s principle FS advisor and works directly with the commander during combat operations. This allows greater flexibility in conducting or adjusting the FS plan. At times, the troop FSO is positioned away from the commander to provide overwatch and better control supporting fires. While the DRT commander is responsible for integrating FS and maneuver, the FSO must fully understand tactics and the scheme of maneuver. Based on the commander's guidance, the FSO synchronizes FS within the maneuver plan for the DRT commander’s approval. The troop FSO and the other FIST HQ personnel are trained FOs. 7-6. The DRT FSO’s responsibilities are to: Plan, coordinate, and execute FS. Assist the DRT commander in developing the troop OPORD/OPLAN to ensure the inclusion of any squadron-assigned FS tasks and the full integration of fires. Prepare, brief, and disseminate the FS plan to key personnel as part of the troop OPORD/OPLAN. Recommend and refine targets to support the maneuver plan. Integrate platoon targets into the DRT target overlay and target worksheet, and send the resulting products to the squadron fires cell. Advise the DRT commander on FS matters, to include capabilities, limitations, and employment of all FS assets available to support the unit mission. Recommend FSCMs and methods of target engagement. Alert the DRT commander if a request for fires against a target has been denied. Advise the DRT commander on the threat’s indirect fire capabilities. Monitor the location and capabilities of friendly FS units and assist the DRT commander in the clearance of indirect fires. Determine the specific FS tasks and instructions required to execute the troop FS plan and ensure that FS tasks are adequately addressed during rehearsals. Coordinate with PLs to ensure they understand any FS responsibilities given to their platoon. Keep key personnel informed of pertinent information (by SPOTREP and SITREP). Maintain the friendly and enemy situations to include SITTEMP, target overlay, FSCMs, GCMs, and locations of troops. Train the FIST in applicable FS matters. Request, adjust, and direct all types of FS, including CAS and naval gun fire in the absence of qualified personnel. Assist the DRT commander to coordinate the employment of CCA, joint air attack teams, and SUASs. Advise the DRT commander on the positioning and use of unit mortars. Develop an observation plan, with day and night visibility contingencies, that supports the DRT and squadron missions. The plan would: Allocate FOs and other observers to maintain surveillance of TAI and, if possible, NAI. 7-2 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
Augmenting Combat Power Plan, direct, and manage the employment of FIST observer platforms and laser equipment where they will best support the troop commander's concept of operation. If augmented by a COLT for the DRT’s use, integrate and employ the team in planned operations. FORWARD OBSERVER 7-7. Platoon FOs are part of the squadron’s FISTs and are normally allocated to a DRT and sent to a platoon. The FOs are the primary FS observers in the troop. They are normally collocated with the PLs. Forward observers provide target refinement; execute planned fires, and request fires for their supported platoons. The FO may control CAS as a non-joint terminal attack controller (JTAC)-qualified individual in emergencies when no U.S. Air Force Forward Air Controller (Airborne), Tactical Air Control Party, or JTAC is available. With additional training and certification, the FO can qualify as a joint fires observer (JFO). 7-8. Forward observer duties include: Refining or submitting key targets for inclusion in the DRT FS plan. Calling for and adjusting indirect fires. Preparing maps, overlays, terrain sketches, and target lists. Maintaining the grid coordinates of his location. Establishing and maintaining communications with the DRT FIST HQ. Informing the FIST HQ of the platoon’s situation, location, and FS requirements. Standard operating procedure should specify when the FO provides update information; for example, every time an FO moves more than 300 meters or on a time-specific trigger (every 20 to 30 minutes during movement). Advising the PL of the capabilities and limitations of indirect FS. Updating the PL on FS assets and current and planned FSCMs. Reporting battlefield intelligence. Selecting OPs and movement routes to observe his target area. Operating and maintaining FO-related devices. Conducting CAS in the absence of a FAC (A), JTAC, or JFO and requesting and providing information to <strong>Army</strong> aviation during CCA. (See FM 3-09.32.) Requesting NGF when NGF spotters are not present. JOINT FIRES OBSERVER 7-9. A JFO is a trained and certified service member who can request, adjust, and control surface-tosurface fires, provide targeting information in support of Type 2 and 3 CAS terminal attack controls, and perform autonomous terminal guidance operations (see FM 3-09.32). The JFO is not an additional Soldier in his <strong>Army</strong> FS organization, but rather an individual who has received the necessary training and certification to receive the JFO’s additional skill identifier. Joint terminal attack controllers cannot be in a position to see every target on the battlefield. Trained JFOs, in conjunction with JTACs, will assist maneuver commanders with the timely planning, synchronization, and responsive execution of all joint fires. Autonomous terminal guidance operations independent of CAS requires the JFO to have direct or indirect communications with the individual commanding the delivery system plus C2 connectivity with the JFO's maneuver commander, or appropriate weapons release authority. Joint Fires observers provide the capability to exploit opportunities that exist in the AO to efficiently support air delivered fires and facilitate targeting for the JTAC. The goal is to have a JFO-trained and certified service member with each Armor company and each Infantry platoon. COMMUNICATIONS 7-10. The FIST operates on multiple radio nets. The use of each radio net varies according to the mission, experience level of the FIST, and degree of control desired. Types of nets include: 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 7-3
