  FIRES WARFIGHTING FUNCTION
  1-135. The fires warfighting function is the related tasks and systems that create and converge effects in all
  domains against the adversary or enemy to enable operations across the range of military operations (ADP 3-
  0). Units must execute and integrate fires, in combination with the other elements of combat power, to create
  and converge effects and achieve the desired end state.
  1-136. The fires warfighting function tasks are—
  * Execute fires across the five domains and in the information environment, employing—
   Surface-to-surface fires.
   Air-to-surface fires.
   Surface-to-air fires.
   Cyberspace operations and electromagnetic warfare.
   Space operations.
