Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication ATP 3-09.90 Division Artillery Operations and Fire Support for the Division OCTOBER 2017 Effective DIVARTY operations and fire support require leadership, knowledge, and situational understanding. Situational understanding is the product of applying analysis and judgement to relevant information to determine the relationship among the operational and mission variables to facilitate decisionmaking (ADP 5-0). DIVARTY staff members must possess an in depth understanding of the functions associated with the planning, employment, targeting, and execution techniques necessary to ensure fires are available and delivered when and where they are needed. ATP 3-09.90 builds on the collective knowledge and experience gained through recent operations, and numerous exercises. Fires assist Army forces in seizing, retaining and exploiting the initiative, defeating adaptive threats, and succeeding in a wide range of contingencies. Fires and external air support enhance freedom of action, movement and maneuver for ground forces. Fires are available to commanders via the following delivery formats: surface to surface, surface to air, air-to surface and electronic attack. Available weapon systems provide commanders a wide range of possible effects, generally classified as lethal and nonlethal. The ability to scale fires enables the successful engagement of high-payoff targets (HPTs) while mitigating collateral damage. The fire support planning team at all levels have the responsibility to plan for the delivery of an appropriate mix of lethal and nonlethal effects. Taking account of mission variables, enemy intentions, and available resources, commanders apply the necessary mix of force to accomplish the assigned mission. The division commander relies on information obtained from fires personnel to determine the necessary effects required to achieve the desired endstate. The DIVARTY commander oversees planning and execution of fires to support the division. Integrated fires support the division commander's scheme of maneuver. The DIVARTY, when allocated fires capabilities, provides fires in support of offensive, defensive, and stability tasks. For more information related to the use of fires in support of offensive, defensive, and stability tasks see FM 3-09.
