Development of Fire Support and Field Artillery Tasks 30 April 2020 FM 3-09 A-9 Table A-7. Example of an essential field artillery task Phase: II (Attack) TASK: Destroy/Neutralize/Suppress/Degrade/Disrupt/Delay (QUANTIFY #/%) on FORMATION IVO LOCATION AT TRIGGER/TIME IN SUPPORT OF MANEUVER/SUPPORTED COMMANDERS TASK. EFAT 1: Destroy 30% of 19th FAB/ 11th IN BDE Medium Artillery (6/18 x 2S19 and 2/6 x 2A36/ 2A65) and counter battery radars (2/4 x IL 220s) IVO TAI XX NLT H-4hrs IN SUPPORT OF 1-1 BN seizure of OBJ Bronze. FAT 2: Suppress 2/2 ZSU IVO Hill 509 from H-4min to H+4min ISO 2-2BN air assault on OBJ Silver PURPOSE: State the supported/ maneuver commander quantifiable task and desired end state for the targeted enemy formation/function/capability. Priority 1: Enable 1-1 BNs attack to seize OBJ Bronze with 80% or greater combat power; 11th BTG unable to defend OBJ Bronze. Priority 2: ZSUs unable to effectively engage RW assets; min force 7/9 RW chalks successfully arrive LZ METHOD: Primary CF battery is Bravo BTRY, BTRY 9 HE or BTRY 3 DPICM. B BTRY remains in PAA 3 during this phase to ensure 2/3rds range at 5H beyond OBJ Bronze; Alternate PAA is PAA 2. Alternate CF battery is Charlie BTRY from PAA 4; Alternate PAA is PAA 5. Primary battery for targets for dynamic engagement is Alpha BTRY, BTRY 9 HE or BTRY 3 DPICM for PLT sized elements and larger. Alpha moves from PAA 2 to PAA 5 as 1-1 BN crosses PL Ironwood in order to maintain a minimum of 2 launchers available to range on OBJ Bronze. Suppression missions are BTRY 3 HE or BTRY 1 DPICM or duration as required. The Alternate dynamic target BTRY is Charlie BTRY in position at PAA 4 during this phase; Alternate is PAA 7. EFFECTS: MOP: A measure of performance is a criterion used to assess friendly actions that is tied to measuring task accomplishment (JP 3-0). “Are we accomplishing tasks to standard?”-(Adjudication Tables) MOP 1: Enemy ARTY engaged within 8 mins of a counter-battery radar accusation and shoot back criteria met from TSS. Enemy ARTY engaged upon positive identification of stationary ARTY / MRL PLT or higher MOP2: 8 Min sustained rate of fire 155MM HE/VT during air assault. PLT survivability as required in PAA. MOE: A measure of effectiveness is a criterion used to assess changes in system behavior, capability, or operational environment that is tied to measuring the attainment of an end state, achievement of an objective, or creation of an effect (JP 3-0) “Are we creating the effect(s) or conditions in the OE that we desire?” MOE 1: BDA: 4/19 x 2S19 fire power kill, 2/6 2A36 fire power kill, 1/4 1 launcher 220 NMC 1/4 1 launcher 220 immobile, radar still FMC: Repeat criteria met. MOE2: 1X ZSU conducted survivability move and unable to engage, 1X UH-60 engaged conducted emergency landing on LZ.
