  1. Fires Center of Excellence MG David D. Halverson Infantry Warfighting Conference 13-15 September 2010

  2. Fires Center of Excellence

  3. Fires Center of Excellence • IOC - August 2009 • FOC - July 2010 • Complete Review of FCoE • Functional Review – 10-5 • Human Capital Review – Civilian Training Plans • Zero Based Budget – Line by line Review/Re-programming • Microcosm of the Army – • IMT • Joint • FORSCOM • USAR/ARNG • LdrTrng

  4. Fires Force

  5. Fires Force 2-77 Fires - Composite Units 1x AASLT Team 6 x M777 8 x M198 4 x M119 • Tailoring of Fires Forces • Offensive and Defensive Fires • Composite Fires Battalions – 2-77 FA Decentralized and Distributed Opns • Ammunition Management • Precision, Near Precision, Conventional – right “mix” • Air Space Management • BCT to Theater • Target Location Error • Precision System – not just precision munitions • 5 Elements of Accurate Predicted Fire – requires precise leaders • JFOs & JTACs – Demand Increasing (started at 536 (05) – now over 1000) • DTMS Certifications • JFETS 2-77 FA supported 5 TF Areas of Operation with 2 organic batteries and 1 attached battery • 2-77 Fires • Over the course of the deployment TF Mountain Warrior fired over 30,000 rounds with organic fire support systems • - 81mm and 120mm mortars fired over 20,000 rounds • - Artillery fired over 10,000 rounds HC and WP Smoke Vignette Three AAF were located at a fighting position in the mouth of a cave complex. The unit selected the M825 WP munitions to flush the enemy out enabling the FO to adjust HE rounds onto the enemy. The munitions fell short and landed in a farm killing cows and goats. This incident created a serious IO problem in an area in which trust in coalition forces was already threadbare. TF Mountain Warrior had previously identified this problem and sent an ONS and request to Ft. Sill to provide HC Smoke for commanders to use without the negative consequences of WP. TF Mountain Warrior was able to perform an assortment of smoke missions in populated areas reserving WP smoke for material destruction missions in unpopulated districts. Vignette – TLE – Elevation Altitude errantly called 1320, actually 933 causing 4 105mm HE/VT RDS to travel 400m long of intended location impacting in a neutral village setting back efforts to tip them to support ISAF vs. enemy elements

  6. Leader Development

  7. Leader Development • Fires Leader Attributes • Agile - Flexible • Understand wide area and combined arms maneuver • Integrators of lethal and non-lethal • Technical business = time to train • 5 Elements of Accurate Predicted Fires • How do you grow Fires Leaders? • Google People – understands the strength of collective intellect • Focus on basics • Understand Joint Fires and how to access • Critical thinking leaders – trained in immersive environments where they are forced to make moral and ethical decisions under pressure • 360, Virtual Platoon, Danger Close

  8. Fires Force Way Ahead

  9. Fires Force Way Ahead • Fires Capability Gaps • Lack of an organic precision indirect fires capability in the IBCT • Lack ability to detect, ID, track, and intercept Low/Slow UAS threats to the lowest tactical level (BCT - Div) • Lack a lightweight, accurate location/ designation system to support dismounted Soldiers in the IBCT • Lack ability to protect forces from rocket, artillery, and mortar (RAM) projectiles at the lowest tactical levels • Lack an accurate 360 degree targeting capability to accurately employ munitions at extended ranges (BCT - FiB (Div)) • Lack ability to integrate Army and JIIM air missile defense capabilities across formations and echelons • Fires Cell • BAE/ADAM/BCDs/FSEs • ATIC Systems – Collapse
