Parent topics
- Fratricide (military) [r]: The killing of one's brother, but in a military context, the killing of one's own forces ("friendly fire"). [e]
- Kinetic fires [r]: Effects of military systems that cause damage by physical forces such as impact, explosion or heat [e]
- Nonkinetic fires [r]: In the newer military usage of "fires" as anything that interferes with the enemy, systems whose effects do not primarily involve physical damage, such as electronic warfare, concealing smoke, or attacks on computer network software [e]
Subtopics
General doctrine
- Force multiplier [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Forward air controller [r]: An individual or team, knowledgeable in both ground and air warfare, who coordinates close air support for a ground unit to which they are responsible [e]
- Forward observer [r]: An individual or team, specializing in artillery, who accompanies ground troops and directs indirect fire artillery in support of those ground troops [e]
- General support [r]: A relationship between military units, in which the supported unit does not have operational control of the supporting unit, but must have its requests either accepted by the supporting unit or approved by a common headquarters [e]
Enabling technologies
- Electronic warfare [r]: A subset of information operations that deals with the use of electromagnetic or kinetic means to degrade an enemy's military electronics systems, to be able to operate one's own electronics in the face of enemy attacks, and to evade those attacks through protection or deception [e]
- AN/ULQ-30 [r]: A mobile system for collecting information on electronic transmitters and optionally jamming them, developed for the United States Marine Corps giving capabilities to temporarily block cellular telephony [e]
- Go-onto-location-in-space [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Go-onto-target [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Guided shell [r]: A piece of artillery ammunition that can alter its course after being fired. [e]
- Laser designator [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Naval gunfire support [r]: naval gun, unguided rocket, and guided missile fire from ships, in direct support of ground forces; does not include close air support even if the aircraft fly from ships [e]
- Precision-guided munition [r]: Add brief definition or description
National and alliance approaches
- Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System [r]: Add brief definition or description
- M981 fire support team vehicle [r]: (FIST-V) Vehicle, based on the M113 armored personnel carrier, for carrying forward observers and forward air controllers [e]
- Marine Air-Ground Task Force [r]: The basic structure of United States Marine Corps combined arms, task-organized units [e]
- Fires Brigade [r]: Add brief definition or description
Battles with extensive close support
- Battle of Khe Sanh [r]: While there had been fighting at Khe Sanh as early as 1964, with U.S. forces arriving in 1966, the main Battle of Khe Sanh ran from January to April 1968, capturing attention before the start of the Tet offensive at the end of January [e]
