The brigade FSO and fires cell planners find the commander’s guidance and the fire support requirements in the fire support plan. They analyze this information and the information on the target list worksheet to determine what schedules of fire must be prepared to support the scheme of movement and maneuver. The fires cell then passes these requirements to the cannon field artillery battalion command post that (assuming an automation system is not available) prepares the necessary DA Form 4656 (Scheduling Worksheet). Table 6-23 on page 6-40 contains column-by-column instructions for preparing the DA Form 4656 (Scheduling Worksheet). Table 6-24 on page 6-41 lists the planning considerations for various field artillery and mortar systems.
