About

FM 6-102 1—6. Operational Concepts a. Aerial field artillery units deliver fires from the aircraft in flight, employing speed, agility, and responsiveness to achieve surprise and destroy targets. Aerial field artillery provides a means of extending the fire support capabilities available to the force commander. Aerial field artillery pos- sesses mobility characteristics which provide for artillery support in many situations in which the mobility characteristics of other types of field ar- tillery are less suited. It is capable of rapidly ma- neuvering and massing fires in any type of terrain despite the wide dispersion required for survival on the modern battlefield. b. Delivery of fires in close support of maneuver forces requires precise timing in relation to the movement of the maneuver forces.
