Division Artillery ATP 3-09.90 1-11 LIAISON SECTION 1-46. This section is responsible for establishing communications and coordinating FA matters with adjacent and supported units. When directed, LNOs exchange data and coordinate fires across division boundaries. Similar to corps-level operations, most of the DIVARTY's liaison requirements are dealt with by FSEs. In selected cases, DIVARTYs may be required to establish additional liaison links to include when the division is in reserve and the DIVARTY is given a reinforcing support relationship or is placed in general support to the corps. Also, when a FAB reinforces the DIVARTY, reciprocal liaison should be established. S-4 SECTION 1-47. The DIVARTY S-4 supervises the S-4 section and is responsible for staff oversight of DIVARTY sustainment operations.

The S-4 will provide input and staff oversight to the DIVARTY in the areas of supply, maintenance, transportation, medical, and field services.
