Chapter 4 4-8 ATP 3-09.12 26 October 2021 Figure 4-3. Linear common sensor boundary example 4-22. Figure 4-4 on page 4-9, depicts an example of an offensive operation that requires the counterfire HQ to assume a larger counterfire role within a BCT’s AO. The flow of acquisitions would be the same as previously covered in the example of Figure 4-3. The CSB has been placed along 2nd BCT’s CFL. The breaching BCT’s (2nd BCT) FS systems will be supporting the breaching elements with obscuration, call for fire, and pre-planned targets. The DIVARTY/FAB should assume a higher level of control and involvement of the counterfire fight within 2nd BCT’s AO. This will relieve pressure on the BCT’s FA BN, and mitigate missed opportunities for counterfire.
