Division Artillery ATP 3-09.90 1-5 USMC fire support representation when the division has an attached, operational control, or otherwise subordinate USMC force, or is conducting operations with a USMC force that is not under its control. The representation normally consists of a fire support liaison element that may be part of a larger liaison team provided to the division. The senior USMC fire support officer advises the division commander, the FSCOORD, and the JAGIC personnel on the capabilities, limitations, and the proper employment of any USMC fire support assets. The USMC fire support liaison element helps the division JAGIC maintain communications with fire support personnel in USMC maneuver units, with USMC FA units, and with USMC air assets. The USMC fire support liaison element helps the fires cell identify USMC fire support, TA, fire planning, and attack requirements as part of the overall division fires effort. MULTINATIONAL ASSETS 1-20. Fires planned or executed for or by multinational forces are typically enabled by the exchange of liaison officers. An automated capability may be provided to non-automated Multinational units to maximize communications with the fires cell. If available, the fires cell should provide an automated capability with operators to the multinational unit. The DIVARTY must provide support to help integrate multinational artillery units into the division. NONLETHAL CAPABILITIES 1-21. It is important that nonlethal capabilities are integrated with fires. The FSCOORD, DIVARTY operations officer, DIVARTY intelligence officer, and appropriate staff officers assist the division with the integration of nonlethal capabilities such as electronic warfare, cyber electromagnetic activities, military information support operations, and information operations. These capabilities are integrated into operations using already established joint and Army processes such as intelligence, targeting, and the military decisionmaking process (MDMP). ELECTRONIC WARFARE 1-22. Electronic warfare systems are used to degrade jammable threats and to neutralize enemy systems when destruction is not feasible. To prevent fratricide of friendly field artillery and air and missile defense radars, the DIVARTY must provide friendly emitter order of battle and location information for inclusion in the airspace control order. 1-23. Electronic attack involves the use of electromagnetic energy, directed energy, or anti-radiation weapons to attack personnel, facilities, or equipment with the intent of degrading, neutralizing, or destroying enemy combat capability and is considered a form of fires. Electronic attack includes— Actions taken to prevent or reduce an enemy's effective use of the electromagnetic spectrum. Employment of weapons that use either electromagnetic or directed energy as their primary destructive mechanism. Offensive and defensive activities, including countermeasures. 1-24. Electronic attack targeting nominations should target the enemies command and control networks and long range fire control networks. Electronic attack should be combined with all forms of fires to prevent a coordinated enemy maneuver or fires support effort. For more information on electronic warfare to include electronic attack see JP 3-13.1 and FM 3-12. CYBERSPACE ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTIVITIES 1-25. Incorporating cyberspace electromagnetic activities with fires throughout all phases of an operation, allows for freedom of maneuver in the land and cyberspace domains. At the same time this denies the same to our enemies and adversaries. 1-26. The DIVARTY fires cell assists the division fires cell to plan, coordinate, integrate, synchronize, and deconflict fire support, current and future, for the command including Army, joint, interorganizational, and multinational partners, as appropriate. Through targeting, cyberspace electromagnetic activities are integrated and synchronized by the electronic warfare officer. For cyber electromagnetic activities, the fire support personnel— 12 October 2017
