a. Joint fires address the integration of all joint lethal and nonlethal capabilities to create
effects. Joint fires are delivered during the employment of forces from two or more
components in coordinated action to produce desired effects in support of a common
objective. Fires typically produce destructive effects, but some ways and means (such as

processes) including:
(1) Conducting joint targeting.
