About

The goal of the direct fire kill chain is to provide a standardized description of all tasks and actions taken by a firer, team, squad, crew, or platoon employing direct fire weapon systems. This allows Soldiers and leaders to maximize the effects of lethal fires against any threat while simultaneously reducing or eliminating fratricide and collateral damage. The conduct of fire lies within the engage link of the kill chain. The conduct of fire describes the elements, terms, and types of a fire commands for the squad, crew, and collective elements. This is the framework for applying direct fire against a confirmed threat. This training circular provides a significant amount of commonality across mounted weapon platforms, small teams, squads, and collective small units.
