This book was released on 1992 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates use of the Fire Support Coordination Line (FSCL) in VII Corps during Operation Desert Storm. The FSCL was considered a restrictive fire control measure by VII Corps due to the requirement to clear surface-to-surface fires beyond the FSCL with the Air Force. the area Doctrinally, the FSCL is a permissive fire control measure which opens beyond the FSCL to all fires without clearance from subordinate, supporting or adjacent units. The supporting air component should be informed of surface-to-surface fires delivered beyond the FSCL. This study explains the use of the FSCL as a restrictive measure and explores the Corps deep battle relative to theater operational considerations. This study concludes that the current doctrinal FSCL definition is not valid within the context of joint operations. On a nonlinear battlefield characterized by ground attack systems that will engage targets in an area previously accessible only to aircraft delivered munitions, coordination must occur between the ground and air component for delivery of fires beyond the FSCL.

Book excerpt: This monograph addresses the question of whether the concept of the Fire Support Coordination Line (FSCL) should be included in future joint doctrine. The FSCL was originally designed as a concept to fulfill a requirement for deconfliction of fires between air and ground forces to prevent fratricide. As the concept evolved it became a permissive FSCM to allow the delivery of uncoordinated fires into an area that the ground commander could not reach with his organic fires. The concept has changed over time to become a more restrictive measure, limiting the ability of the commander to influence a portion of his AO directly. In essence, the FSCL is being used to deconflict fires, particularly at the operational level, rather than to facilitate the integration of complementary capabilities of joint systems and operations. Furthermore, though the FSCL was at one time an appropriate and necessary control measure because of technological limitations, tremendous advances in information-age technology and a new battlefield environment increasingly characterized by non-linear operations have made the concept of the FSCL irrelevant. In fact, the FSCL impedes the JFC from applying joint fires on the battlefield in the most effective and efficient manner possible. The fundamental conclusion of the paper is that the FSCL is a concept behind its time, and should be eliminated from joint doctrine. Commanders should use boundaries, to include forward boundaries, to achieve unity of effort within their AOs. The Joint Force Commander should control all assets that can be applied as operational fires through an Integrated Tasking Order, and should apportion control of resources to subordinate commanders to accomplish his intent. Within their AOs, commanders should continue to use other FSCM to mold their battlefield. Finally, advances in information technology must be exploited jointly so that commanders can integrate fully the complementary capabilities offered by the service component.

Download or read book The Fire Support Coordination Line Optimal Placement for Joint Employment written by John Horner and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates optimal placement of the Fire Support Coordination Line (FSCL), asserting that FSCL position should correspond to a changeover in the preponderance of forces under the purviews of the Joint Force Land and Air Component Commanders (JFLCC and JFACC respectively). The thesis assesses whether FSCL placement should directly reflect the location and relative amount of combat power these component commanders intend to project against the enemy. At the depth where the JFACC's forces provide a greater amount of firepower, this FSCL identifies the transfer of coordination authority. Analyses of Operation DESERT STORM and Prairie Warrior 98, the capstone end-of-year exercise at the US Army Command and General Staff College, assess the validity of the thesis. In both, research correlates optimal joint employment conditions with a FSCL placement that is based on the preponderance of forces. This thesis concludes that the preponderance of forces reflects situation-specific factors and can be used as a primary consideration in the establishment of an appropriate FSCL. Determination of a preponderance of force-based FSCL is possible and doctrine should reflect its significance. Use of this FSCL enhances joint employment, allowing the US military to quickly, efficiently accomplish those objectives associated with attacking the enemy.

Book excerpt: Fire Support Coordination Measures (FSCMs) can significantly increase or decrease the efficiency of joint combat operations. This thesis examines use and placement of the Fire Support Coordination Line (FSCL). The line helps ensure that firepower directed at a surface commander's area of operations (AO) is properly coordinated toward objectives assigned by the Joint Force Commander (JFC). Research suggests that an effects-based analysis of the various fires supplied by the land and air components offers an appropriate means to determine FSCL location. Short of the FSCL, where land forces typically supply the preponderance of effects, the ground commander should act as coordinating authority. Beyond it, when established at the depth where air forces tend to provide the preponderance of effects, the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC) should assume coordination responsibility. Hence, forces assigned to the land and air component commanders would coordinate their employment with that component providing the dominant battlefield effects. Operation Desert Storm presents several case studies that tend to support the idea. Khafji (defensive operations to repel an attack), 73 Easting (offensive operations against a defending enemy), and attacks on the "Highway of Death" (operations against a withdrawing enemy) provide reinforcing evidence. Analysis indicates that an FSCL based on the preponderance of effects takes into account the various situation-specific factors mentioned in joint doctrine. If an effects-based FSCL were used in the Gulf War, fires may have been better coordinated and more potent. Staffs planning for future combat operations should advise on FSCL placement based on the preponderance of effects, which incorporates factors such as forces available, the scheme of maneuver, enemy array, targeting plan and other key issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate objective of joint military operations is to bring to bear a swift, decisive, efficient blow to the adversary. It demonstrates the speed, efficiency, and flexibility the joint fires community strives for, by linking weapons effects to the Joint Force Commander's campaign or operation objectives through component operations. Fire Support Coordination Measures (FSCMs) serve as the primary means of orchestrating joint fires on the battlefield. This paper will discuss three areas where seams exist in the joint force community: (a) deep versus close battle (b) operational definition of the Fire Support Coordination Line (FSCL) and (c) application of the FSCL on a noncontiguous/nonlinear battlefield. Potential solutions are (a) use of a common grid reference system (b) use of a Joint Effects Coordination Line (JECL) and (c) establishment of a Joint Fires Element (JFE).
