DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This field manual, Army Doctrine Publication ADP 3-19 Fires July 2019, defines and describes the fires warfighting function in terms of its major tasks, capabilities, functions, and processes, and describes the integration of capabilities and their associated effects through the targeting and operations processes. The successful employment of fires depends on the integration and synchronization of all elements of fires across domains and in concert with the other warfighting functions. This manual forms the foundation for training and Army education curricula on fires. The scope of this publication is broad in order to cover fires as a complete entity. It gives equal treatment to the diverse assets that contribute to the fires warfighting function. The term "fires" in this document includes lethal and nonlethal effects, as delivered by Army, joint, and multinational capabilities. To create effects in multi-domain operations, Army leaders must consider the fires warfighting function in an inclusive manner, integrating assets and effects to meet the commander's objectives. ADP 3-19 replaces ADP 3-09 as the Army's fundamental publication for fires. The 3-09 series of publications is hereafter renamed, "Fire Support." The purpose of renumbering fires doctrine is to remove the implication that fires applies only to one or two branches, and to become more inclusive of all elements of fires. The principal audience for ADP 3-19 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters (HQ) serving as joint task force or multinational HQ should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this manual.ADP 3-19 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and U.S. Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.
