Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) fires and effects is the coordinated and collective employment of fires, information activities, and systems to create desired effects throughout the battlespace to achieve objectives. Under the single battle concept, Marines coordinate MAGTF fires and effects with maneuver during operations to shape the battlespace, setting conditions for decisive action and successful mission execution. Commanders employ fires and information activities while considering the requirements and costs to project and sustain the units that produce desired effects.
