In order to integrate fires into the IWTS live fire gates, FA units must ensure they are qualified at providing artillery fires safely and accurately into the maneuver plan. They must validate their ability to support IWTS live fire events through their qualification events in the artillery tables. For example, a FA platoon is allowed to participate in an infantry company combined arms live fire exercise only after they have successfully qualified through an evaluation of the tasks required in artillery table XII. Table 1-6 on page 1- 15, lists the minimum level of support to each IWTS live-fire event listed in TC 3-20.0 and the prerequisites required.
