Navy and Marine information has been coordinated with Naval Doctrine Command (NDC) and the Marine Corps Combat Development Command (MCCDC), respectively. 2. Purpose J-Fire provides a pocket-sized, quick reference guide for requesting fire support. J-Fire contains calls for fire, a format for joint air strike requests, a format for briefing aircrews who provide close air support, structures of communication nets, and data on weapons. 3.
