Reinforcing (R)
When reinforcing a DS battalion, LNO teams may be required at:
- Battalion TOC
- Force FA Fire Support Element
MLRS ammunition expenditure may exceed resupply capability.
Notes:
Dialogue: A MLRS battalion with a reinforcing mission responds directly to the reinforced artillery unit. It requires the battalion to provide the reinforced unit with a liaison section for coordinating the unit’s position and delivery of fires. A unit with this mission is essentially released from the force artillery headquarters to the reinforced unit, although it may still respond to calls for fire from the force FA headquarters if not engaged by the reinforced unit.
