Counterfire in support of LSCO consists of supporting offensive, defensive, and stability tasks. The staff must plan for the specific targeting of enemy FS systems with special attention to how the enemy commander will utilize FS to counter friendly offense, defense, and stability operations. Each of the supporting tasks provide different opportunities for the utilization of triggers, detection platforms, delivery platforms, and the ability to shape the OE. COUNTERFIRE/TARGETING IN SUPPORT OF OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS 1-45. Friendly force movements during the offensive operation typically provide a basis for triggering movements of WLRs, cueing, and synchronization with delivery platforms. During the offense, triggers for movement of WLRs, cueing, and synchronization with a delivery platform are typically based upon friendly force movements during the offensive operation.
