Mission
•
With the advent of the U.S. Army’s modular structure the mission of the Fires Brigade incorporates those missions previously performed by Corp Artilleries, Division Artilleries and Field Artillery Brigades. The Fires Brigade gives the division, corps, joint task force or land component command a headquarters to plan, synchronize and execute lethal and non-lethal supporting fires in support of current and future operations throughout the command’s Area of Operation (AO).
•
The Fires Brigade is capable of employing Army and Joint Air, surface and subsurface fires, as well as Special Operations Forces, Information Operations, Civil Affairs and Airspace Command and Control elements. The Fires Brigade also has the necessary command and control structure to integrate attached ground and maneuver forces and function as a maneuver headquarters. 3
