MLRS Employment Concept The capabilities of MLRS make it one of the most versatile FA weapon systems available for both joint and combined arms operations. Its range, mobility, and lethality allow it to execute the full spectrum of fire support -- providing close support to maneuver units, protecting the force with counterfire, and attacking operational targets for the division, corps, Marine airground task force (MAGTF), or joint task force commander and in support of theater missile defense (TMD). Regardless of the tactical mission, MLRS units are positioned and fight well forward and use their shoot-andscoot capability to improve survivability. Forward positioning is critical to accomplishing these deep missions.
