Artillery Operations _____________________________________________________________________________________________ A-5 coordination was requested. The operator at the battalion FSCC may reprocess the mission. Missions Not Requiring Coordination Missions are transmitted to the regiment FSCC. Missions Requiring Coordination with Electronic Warfare Assets Missions requiring coordination with EW assets (as indicated by guidance) will transmit a request for coordination to the intelligence and EW agency listed in the mission routing info window. Denial or approval will process the mission as if coordination from another FSCC was required. No Solution If AFATDS is unable to determine a solution, it recommends “Denied, no capable option.” The operator can select “unsupportable” causing the mission to be transmitted to the regiment FSCC (the battalion’s support unit ID) for reevaluation of fire support engagement. Override The operator can override AFATDS’ solution and transmit any solution to any station. Overriding and transmitting a red option does not allow the automatic routing of FO commands. Regiment Fire Support Coordination Center The regiment FSCC processes the mission and intervenes only on denied missions. The mission may not be assigned to the same asset as predicted by the battalion FSCC if the guidance at the regiment differs from those at the battalion. The mission may be— ● Transmitted to any fire support asset that the regiment FSCC commands. If additional coordination is required, requests are routed before transmitting the mission to the fire support asset. ● Determined unsupportable. The operator can then transmit the mission—due to supported unit ID—to the division FSCC. ● Overridden. The operator can override the computer solution and transmit any solution to any station. Battalion Fire Direction Center The battalion FDC processes the mission to subordinate battery FDCs. The battalion FDC will perform detailed attack analysis due to software default. Fire missions will never be denied at the battalion FDC. Though several options may be available, the battalion FDC will select one of the following solutions: ● The fire mission can be passed to the firing units selected by AFATDS. ● The fire mission can be transmitted to any subordinate or reinforcing unit regardless of the option AFATDS selected. ● The mission can be returned to the regiment FSCC as “unsupportable.” This option should not be required if the regiment FSCC is in detailed attack analysis. However, if “unsupportable” is selected, the mission is returned to the regiment FSCC, reprocessed, and most likely transmitted to the division FSCC as “unsupportable.” This is AFTADS’ method of “request for reinforcing fires.” Since the fire mission may be received again by the battalion FDC as part of a massed fire mission solution from the regiment FDC, any mission returned to the regiment FDC as “unsupportable” is immediately manually deleted from the active fire target list by the battalion FDC. Division Fire Support Coordination Center The division FSCC processes fire missions received but seldom intervenes. NSFS missions are printed and handed off to the representative of this asset (unless automated communications are available to these units). Artillery missions are
A-6 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ MCWP 3-16.1 passed to the regiment FDC for processing. Air missions are transmitted to the DASC. Regiment Fire Direction Center The regiment FDC processes received fire missions using detailed attack analysis. Fire orders are passed to subordinate battalion FDCs. If the mission is unsupportable, it is returned as an “unsupportable” mission to the division FSCC. The regiment FDC does not deny the mission. Radar Fire Mission and the Target Processing Center Radars held in GS are controlled by the TPC. The TPC will process all fire missions to the regiment FDC by clicking “unsupportable.” Since the TPC is commanded by the regiment FDC, missions are automatically passed there. All radar fire missions require coordination since they will plot in the zone of a maneuver unit. Coordination is normally effected by coordination requests automatically generated at the regiment FDC, not at the TPC. “Unsupportable” missions do not require coordination until an attack option is determined. Radars in DS of a battalion are directly linked to that FDC. Command and support relationships of these radars are changed to reflect this, and the fire missions transmitted are processed by the battalion FDC in the same fashion as fire missions received by an FO.
