Big text Support By Fire

Support by fire is a position that designates the general position from which a unit conducts the tactical mission task of support by fire. The purpose of these positions is to increase the supported force’s freedom of maneuver by placing direct fires on an objective that is going to be assaulted by a friendly force. Support by fire positions are located within the maximum friendly direct-fire range of enemy positions. The commander selects them so that the moving assault force does not mask its supporting fires.
