Implementing a Joint Fire Support Doctrine – Requirement for the Joint Operation

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we wanted to highlight the importance of developing and implementing in the Romanian Army a joint fire support doctrine that will serve as foundation for common and coherent understanding of specific concepts and terminology for fire support in every branch of the armed forces. The unitary approach and understanding of these concepts constitute a fundamental need to provide timely, integrated and synchronized fire support in a joint operation. Although, at Land Forces level, “F.T.-6 – Fire support manual for group force operations” was developed in 2018, and comprises fire support fundamentals, this manual cannot be sufficient and, in our opinion, a dedicated norm that implements fire support specific principles, tactics, techniques and procedures at every armed force branch is required, for responsible personnel with fire support and also with joint targeting, no matter what force structures are generated for the joint operation. In order to achieve this requirement, we believe it is necessary to develop a dedicated doctrine at the highest national military authority regarding joint fire support, in order to implement fire support fundamentals in every army branch of the Romanian Army – aspects that currently exist in the land forces manual, as every army branch can contribute with force structures or specialized elements to providing fire support in a joint operation
