Title: Fire Support in Low Intensity Conflict Is Current Doctrine Adequate
Abstract: Abstract : This monograph examines the adequacy of current fire support command and control doctrine for the employment of U.S. forces in a low intensity conflict environment. The monograph first reviews current Low Intensity Conflict doctrine applicable to fire support considerations and provides an overview of current field artillery responsibilities. It then examines fire support lessons learned from the French Indo China War, U.S. forces in Grenada, and from observations of recent Joint Readiness Training Center rotations. Recurring problems are discussed as they compare or contrast with existing fire support doctrine, revealing several inadequacies in both doctrine and training. (CP)
