	BELLUM - Fire Support
		Fire support is used to destroy, neutralize or to suppress the enemy, cover a friendly troops advance or withdrawl, etc. There are 4 basic roles for the fire support: Support troops in contact with the enemy - Support the force commanders battle plan - Synchronize fire support - Sustain fire support.
		When requesting fire support the speed is of the essence and therefor a demand of fire support should be as simple yet as detailed as possible in the first report.
		To correct fire support that is faulty - the startingpoint should be the correct position according to the map, - "Adjust fire, to far (or to short) 100m, left (or right) 200m", and since you gave the fire support command the enemy position and your position they can quickly adjust the fire.

	Chapter VIII: Fire Support Base CROOK - Fire Support Surveillance Base FLOYD
		Supporting fire from artillery at other locations as well as from gunships and tactical air elements was arranged around the fire support base perimeter.
		Artillery was fired at these areas and, as apprehension of an impending attack grew, the officer in command, Major Joseph E. Hacia, executive officer of the 3d Battalion, 22d Infantry, ordered interdicting fire from supporting artillery on trails, road junctions, and likely assembly areas.
		Co-ordinated with the attack by fire, the enemy launched a battalion-size ground attack from the south and west, which was met by a heavy volume of grazing fire from the defenders.

	Indirect Fire
		Unobserved fire is fire for which the points of impact or burst are not observed.
		These fires neutralize, canalize, or destroy enemy attack formations or defenses; obscure the enemy's vision or otherwise inhibit his ability to acquire and attack friendly targets; and destroy targets deep in the enemy rear with long-range rocket or missile fires.
		These fires are used to disrupt, delay, and destroy enemy forces that, because of range limitations or intervening terrain, cannot fire their primary weapon systems on friendly forces.

	Chapter III N. Fire Support
		Fire support is the collective and coordinated use of indirect fire, target acquisition data, armed aircraft, and other lethal and nonlethal means against ground targets in support of maneuver force operations.
		Fire support responsibilities focus on close support fires in support of engaging maneuver units, counterfire (the attack of enemy indirect fire support systems), and interdiction (the attack of enemy laterally and in depth).
		Modernization of the fire support operating system depends upon the development of these key systems for fire support coordination, close support, counterfire, command and control, and target acquisition, as well as munitions and rockets, and their ultimate fielding as a fire support system–of–systems.

		These support services are made available to all fire departments and other agencies on a "no-cost" basis; that is, all costs are borne entirely by the membership of the East Bay Fire Support organization as a way of giving back to our communities.
		The main method used to accomplish this goal is to provide timely on-scene canteen and/or other rehab services and logistical support as needed, in an effort to reduce the effects of heat, dehydration, or long-term exposure to cold, all of which can impair the ability to perform their jobs in a safe and effective manner.
		Most fire departments are now recognizing the importance of keeping their firefighters hydrated, especially with the recent acceptance of NFPA 1584, but may also find that they do not have adequate funding or manpower to meet all of their needs in this area.

	Fire and Fury Games' Battlefront:WWII US Artillery
		By timing when the batteries fired, the U.S. fire direction centers were able to have the fire from all of the assets in a mission arrive at the same time in a single deadly strike known as a "Time-on-Target" mission.
		Also, with an historical response time of about 3 minutes from call-for-fire to fire mission, it would not be unreasonable to allow all 3 batteries of a DS battalion to fire independent missions in the 10 minute period that the Battlefront turn represents.
		A reasonable restriction would be to allow 3 separate fire missions from a DS battalion if no general support artillery was added, but allow only 2 separate missions if one of them calls for general support, and allow only one of the missions from the battalion to call for general support in a turn.
