General Heliborne artillery raids require unique planning considerations and preparation. This appendix outlines general tactics, techniques, and procedures to conduct heliborne artillery raids. See also FMFM 7-32, Raid Operations. Tables F-1 through F-7 and figures F-1 through F-6 are detailed guides for an artillery raid force. They are not prescriptive; they are planning examples. See pages F-10 through F-20. Characteristics An artillery raid is the movement of an artillery unit (or portion of that unit) to a designated firing position to attack an HPT with artillery fires followed by the immediate withdrawal to a safe location. The artillery raid is a unique operation because the firing position is usually beyond the beachhead or FLOT. Due to the limited protection at these locations, speed and surprise are essential. The intent is to rapidly insert an artillery force and swiftly deliver artillery fire on single or multiple targets. This must be done using the minimum amount of equipment and personnel to accomplish the mission. Planning should allow for the force to withdraw immediately upon completion of the fire mission. These characteristics will govern the planning and execution phases of the operation. APPENDIX F HELIBORNE ARTILLERY RAIDS Command and Control The senior maneuver commander assigns an artillery raid to an artillery battery or battalion. The raid force consists of five elements: command, support, assault, security, and observer. The senior artillery commander assigned the raid mission is the raid force commander (RFC). The mission commander is assigned from the supporting helicopter squadron. Open and direct communications between the RFC and mission commander during planning are imperative for the raid to succeed. Mission Profile Commanders and staffs must understand the purpose of the raid as soon as the mission is assigned, i.e., upon receipt of the warning order. They must also understand the risk involved and the possible loss of key personnel and equipment. This understanding is extremely important as it will guide many of the decisions during planning. The following six missions may be assigned to the artillery raid force: ● Destroy. To permanently render a target combat ineffective. This mission is best accomplished with an FO equipped with a laser and accurate locating device. ● Neutralize. Temporarily render threat personnel or material operationally ineffective. This mission is best accomplished with an FO.
