Chapter 3 3-6 ATP 3-09.24 30 March 2022 and assigned task and purpose, the commander's intent and the higher commander's intent, the concept of operation, scheme of maneuver, priorities, the time plan, and type and location of rehearsals. Combined Arms Rehearsal 3-24. The FS plan must be integrated into the combined arms rehearsal. Key FS personnel representing or supporting the FS system must attend the combined arms rehearsal. The commander will decide who attends. For a detailed listing of who must attend the combined arms rehearsal see FM 3-09. 3-25. Usually, the combined arms rehearsal takes place after the joint targeting cycle and Army targeting process have commenced. Much of the FS plan for the operation will be refined based on the ongoing targeting cycle to include target nominations HPTs, TAIs, information collection plan and allocation, CAS allocations, priorities of fire, FSCMs, ACM, and overall scheme of fires. 3-26. For each phase or time period discussed at the combined arms rehearsal, the FSCOORD should ensure the following are integrated: Essential fire support tasks (referred to as EFSTs). HPTs and TAIs. Trigger points for each target and the target engagement criteria. Target Acquisition resources and allocation for each HPT and TAI. Communications plan for each TA resource. Attack guidance, such as unit(s) to fire, shell and fuze combination, and number of volleys, specified for each target. Time sensitive target lists, attack guidance matrices, and target selection standards Alternate method of attack when global positioning system enabled weapons are primary and the area becomes denied, degraded, and disrupted. FSCMs and ACMs including triggers for moving FSCMs. Priorities of fire. FS attack/delivery systems (lethal and nonlethal) available and allocated for each HPT and TAI. Consolidation Area FS plan. Geographic combatant commander CAS, and AI, apportionment guidance, joint force land component commander target nominations for AI, and requests for CAS. Fire Support Rehearsal 3-27. The FS rehearsal is a support rehearsal. It should occur before the combined arms rehearsal and ensure the integration and synchronization of the FS effort with the information collection plan and the scheme of maneuver plan. As with the combined arms rehearsal, the FS rehearsal likely occurs after the initiation of the targeting process. FS rehearsals are more detailed than the combined arms rehearsal and serve to refine the FS plan and FS execution matrix with the maneuver and prove the feasibility of executing FS tasks. If it is held before the combined arms rehearsal, changes from the combined arms rehearsal may require a second FS rehearsal. A FS rehearsal may include all key maneuver and FS personnel involved in planning and executing the FS plan. For a detailed listing of personnel required to attend the FS rehearsal see FM 3-09. For more information on FS rehearsals see FM 6-0 and ATP 3-09.23, ATP 3-09.42, ATP 3-09.90. 3-28. The FSCOORD ensures the following are discussed during the FS rehearsal: A clear understanding of the maneuver commander's intent and guidance for FS. Establishment of TAIs, NAIs, and HPTs that allow for targeting against specific enemy formations in accordance with the commander's targeting guidance (intelligence collection plan). Allocated primary and alternate TA and FS attack and delivery capabilities for each TAI. A clear understanding of the scheme of fires. A clear understanding of the rules of engagement and procedures for clearing fires. Primary, alternate, contingency, and emergency communications plan. Alternate attack systems to be used in the engagement of specific targets.
