  4-7. FA personnel, from company FIST through fires commands, integrate all means of FS – FA, mortars,
  CEMA, and joint fires. FA personnel integrate and synchronize FS within the commander's scheme of
  maneuver.
  4-8. FA supports ground and air operations by attacking the enemy force throughout the depth of its
  formations and provides specific target engagement such as SEAD. FA fires can provide simultaneous
  precision strikes of targets at long ranges that other means cannot attack without significant risk. Strike is an
  attack to damage or destroy an objective or a capability (JP 3-0). FA can quickly attack enemy forces on key
  terrain, flanks, and in dead space, and enables the supported commander to economize and concentrate to
  exploit advantages that arise.
  4-9. As an element of the FS system TA is key to FA effectively providing timely and accurate artillery
  fires. FA specific TA is accomplished by FOs and WLRs. In addition, supported commanders must also
  integrate maneuver, UAS, other joint and national collection assets into the information collection plan.
  SECTION II – FIELD ARTILLERY ORGANIZATIONS AT ECHELONS ABOVE
  BRIGADE
  4-10. To meet the JFC's objectives, the joint force synchronizes diverse fires assets from US and
  multinational forces. Joint FS requires planning and detailed coordination to integrate and synchronize the
  supporting commander's joint FS into the supported commander's operation.
  4-11. FA HQ and organizations provide the theater, corps, and division commanders with the C2 and
  synchronizing functions to integrate fires. These units at echelon are the TFC, theater fires element (TFE),
  multidomain task force, FAB, and the DIVARTY. For more information on the FAB and DIVARTY see
  ATP 3-09.24 and ATP 3-09.90.
  THEATER FIRES COMMAND
  4-12. A TFC will C2 organic assigned theater strategic fires capabilities and serve as the senior HQ assigned
  to a theater army to integrate theater fires assets and execute critical fires functions. Theater strategic level
  of warfare is the level of warfare at which combatant commanders synchronize with unified action partners
  and employ all elements of national power to fulfill policy aims within the assigned theater in support of the
  national strategy (FM 3-0). The TFC will develop, nominate, and integrate effects on joint targets across the
  theater. The TFC supports joint targeting by continuously setting the theater and setting the conditions to
  enable JFLCC/Field Army and corps operations in conflict. Setting the theater is the broad range of activities
  continuously conducted to establish conditions for the successful execution of operations in a theater (FM 3-
  0).
  4-13. The TFC is assigned to an Army Service component command/Theater army to plan, coordinate,
  synchronize, and employ multidomain fires to support the Joint Force Land Component Command (JFLCC),
  theater army and the Joint Force Air Component Command (JFACC) throughout all periods of multi-domain
  operations. The TFC provides the JFLCC/theater army and JFACC with a FFA HQ to integrate multidomain
  fires against operational and strategic targets in armed conflict and provides strategic deterrence in
  competition and crisis. The primary functions of the TFC are:
  * The TFC provides strategic deterrence through forward positioning of Army fires and other
  enablers in theater.
  * Sets the theater for the rapid employment of multidomain fires and their effects through the
  development and implementation of theater-level FSCMs in support of the strategic framework.
  * Responsible for an integrated fires network.
  * Serves as the land component commander’s (referred to as LCC) coordinating HQ for theater joint
  targeting.
  * Serve as a FFA HQ for the theater by assigning mission-specific HQs for counterfire, strike, or
  setting the conditions for future operations. Also recommends command and support relationships
  for all fires organizations in theater (including allies).
