Fire support refers to the use of indirect fire weapons, such as artillery and mortars, to assist ground forces in combat. This support can target enemy positions, provide cover for advancing troops, or disrupt enemy operations. Fire support is crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of military operations and ensuring the safety of soldiers on the battlefield. Coordination between different military units is essential for effective fire support. This involves communication between infantry, artillery, and air support to ensure that fire is accurately directed and minimizes the risk of friendly fire. Proper planning and execution of fire support can significantly influence the outcome of military engagements.
