ATP 3-09.12 contains the fundamental techniques and guidance required for planning, coordinating, conducting FA counterfire, and the employment of FA WLRs. It provides information on how to train and conduct operations and describes the techniques currently being used and known to be effective. The doctrine is consistent with joint, multi-Service, and other Army doctrine. Counterfire is an operations function that aims to accurately engage enemy indirect fire systems once acquired. The counterfire process is not the sole responsibility of the Fires Warfighting function and should be integrated with the planning process through targeting. FA target acquisition (TA) identifies and provides an accurate target location to the supported maneuver commander to allow for immediate counterfire operations against the target.
