About

Azmy and corps.—There is no direct chain of AAA command extending from an army to its component corps; that is, instructions originating within an army for corps AAA will be directed in the name of the army commander to the corps commander who will be responsible for issuing appropriate orders to his AAA. @ 3. Fire Unir.AAA gun and automatic weapons fire, or searchlight illumination, is directed on hostile airplanes or other targets by fire units. In an AA balloon organization the balloon crew is comparable to the AAA fire unit. A fire unit is the smallest subdivision of an AAA organization that can actively engage the enemy. The size of the fire unit depends upon the tactical use of its weapons. The fire unit must be relieved from all details except firing. @ 4. Barrery.—a.
