The delivery of artillery fires in support of forces in contact with the enemy is primarily the responsibility of DS artillery battalions. What are the likely conventional threats that U.S. fires units can expect to confront, both in terms of hostile intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and counterfire threats to U.S. artillery and joint fires systems and in terms of targets that the Army and joint fires will be expected to engage? unique electronic signature, they are relatively easy to detect and locate.

The senior field artilleryman present supervises FSC/FSE/DOCC operations and represents the command's FA commander when absent.

The entire artillery regiment is rarely deployed as part of an amphibious force. Massed preparations to create weak points or gaps in enemy defenses. It incorporates corps intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB) products and other critical information developed at corps, higher, or adjacent HQ. RAND's publications do not necessarily reflect the opinions of its research clients and sponsors. In a potential future conflict with Iran, challenges include the need for significant amounts of accurate, long-range fires across the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz and potentially difficulties in coordinating with other Gulf States.

When formations do not have an organic FA HQ, the respective force commander may designate an FA HQ such as an FA brigade as force FA HQ. Logistic sustainability is a central aspect in achieving operational and tactical success. The primary mission of attack helicopter units Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.
