About

The proper application of fire support assets is a critical planning factor in any combat situation. Successful employment of MLRS in MOUT requires exceptional planning and C2 down to the launcher level. The purpose of this review of doctrine is to provide a background to non-fire supporters about MLRS and its potential application in MOUT. This review relies heavily on the concepts and tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) found in FM 6-60 and supporting ideas from FM 6-50. The review is not limited to the short section on MOUT in FM 6-60, but includes a summary of relevant background factors for maneuver commanders and planners to consider. It is not a comprehensive report on the overall use of MLRS. Other associated doctrinal issues, such as logistical demands, weapons maintenance, and training programs in MOUT are not addressed here.
