Appendix C ATP 3-09.90 C-3 Table C-3. Advanced dynamic targeting drill (example) Step Action 1 G-3 and FSCOORD will issue commander’s guidance to the staff to support the combined arms maneuver and strike coordination and reconnaissance. 2 The collection manager positions information collection assets in accordance with maneuver commander’s guidance, targeting priorities, and mission requirements. 3 Fires cell receives calls for fire, fixed- or rotary-wing requests or a Counter-UAS engagement request. 4 The targeting cell (G-2 intelligence officer, fixed-wing intelligence officer, FAIO, and targeting officer) identifies a target of opportunity and recommends attack guidance to the chief of fires. 5 Fires cell identifies and assesses the firing assets capabilities. AMD officer validates UAS as friend or foe and determines that it cannot be engaged with air defense assets. Coordination with the senior air director or ALO and informs the chief of fires of the decision. 6 Chief of fires conducts collateral damage estimate analysis and provides the G-3 with recommendations for approval or disapproval. 7 The G-3 will approve/disapprove rules of engagement and collateral damage estimation analysis and communicates approved target and attack guidance to chief of fires to initiate ground and air clearance. 8 Chief of fires requests airspace and ground clearance for fire mission and supervises battle drill by tracking, continued coordination, and synchronization of the status of fires proving updates to the G-3. 9 Chief of fires coordinates, directs positioning of assets and establishment of FSCMs and ACMs to support the recommended NAI/TAI and to best enable indirect fire freedom of action. 10 The ALO and airspace control officer coordinate, recommend positioning of assets, and establish FSCMs and ACMs to support the recommended NAI and TAI and best enable indirect fire freedom of action. 11 The ALO receives calls for fire, fixed- and rotary-wing requests and C-UAS engagement requests. They coordinate airspace clearance and then report airspace is clear. 12 Airspace Control Officer initiates and supervises airspace clearance and deconfliction and reports airspace clear. 13 Air space manager and the TAIS operator will adjust airspace control measures to support repositioning assets and will collaborate to build ingress and egress routes. 14 Fixed wing procedural controller repositions fixed-wing assets and communicates close air support mission requirements if requested. 15 ALO and airspace control officer will report airspace status to chief of fires (to include airspace clear or not clear). 16 Chief of fires relays information to the G-3. 17 G-3 ensures air and ground clearance, directs attack guidance, and issues fire commands. 18 Fires cell selects firing unit and transmits firing commands under direction of the fire control officer. 19 Airspace control officer repositions fixed- and rotary-wing assets and communicates requirements. ACMs – airspace coordinating measures ALO – air liaison officer AMD – air and missile defense FAIO – field artillery intelligence officer G-2 – assistant chief of staff, intelligence G-3 – assistant chief of staff, operations NAI – named area of interest TAI – target area of interest TAIS – tactical airspace integration system C-6. Regardless of the dynamic targeting battle drill used, all functions will take place under their own warfighting function control. Fires integrate and synchronize the functions to maximize the efficiencies and the speed of delivery of fires to the supported commander under the direction of the G-3. The G-3 will maintain responsibility of directing the functions that take place during these operations. The G-3 is responsible to ensure these functions are integrated and synchronized with the maneuver force. 12 October 2017
