Fires forces create responsive, scalable, and accurate fires providing unprecedented reach and mobility for the Army and joint force commander. The Fires Center of Excellence has developed a Fires Strategy that provides an excellent framework for the evolution and synergy of the Air Defense Artillery and the Field Artillery—a historic fusion of two distinct roles within the Fires Force. ADP 3-09 incorporates air and missile defense (AMD) and electronic attack (EA) in the Army fires warfighting function. Expanding on the Army's fires warfighting function, the term fires now includes fires from other services, Air Defense Artillery fires and Field Artillery fires. This document was crafted to provide Fires doctrine that enables the development of interoperable, networked, and integrated systems capable of executing multiple missions throughout unified action.
