  * Integrate and synchronize joint FS and multinational fires with the other dynamics of combat
  power.
  * Lead the targeting working group and facilitate the targeting board.
  * Accompany the commander during execution of tactical operations (when directed).
  * Provide for consolidated and focused FS and FA specific certification, readiness, and oversight
  (personnel management, equipment issues, and training).
  * Establish standard operation procedures across the brigade, division, corps, and theater.
  * Oversee the professional development of the 13-series career management field Soldiers.
  * Mentor, train, and educate junior FS and FA leaders on all aspects of the FS system.
  CHIEF OF FIRES
  2-9. The chief of fires is the senior fires staff officer at echelons above corps who advises the commander
  on the best use of available fires resources, and provides input to necessary orders (ADP 3-19). The chief of
  fires is located at the theater Army fires cell or joint task force (JTF), joint fires element (JFE) that does not
  have a TFC to execute joint fires. Joint fires are fires delivered during the employment of forces from two or
  more components in coordinated action to produce desired effects in support of a common objective (JP 3-
  0). The chief of fires facilitates the fires warfighting function and works closely with the J-3 (referred to as
  the operations directorate of a joint staff) to ensure mutual understanding of all aspects of planning,
  preparation, execution, and assessment of fires for operations.
  DEPUTY FIRE SUPPORT COORDINATOR
  2-10. The deputy fire support coordinator (DFSCOORD) is a permanently assigned coordinating staff officer
  on the TFC, corps, and division staff. The DFSCOORD provides oversight of FS personnel, working groups
  and boards, and the joint air-ground integration center (JAGIC) when formed. When the FSCOORD is not
  present, the DFSCOORD performs the duties of the FSCOORD.
  TARGETING OFFICER
  2-11. FSEs from FA BNs through corps, and fires cells at echelons above corps have assigned targeting
  officers. The targeting officer will drive the targeting process and is the technical subject matter expert on all
  matters relating to Army and joint targeting. Targeting officers will participate in the MDMP to develop the
  targeting products HPTL, attack guidance matrix (AGM), and target synchronization matrix.
  2-12. The targeting officer recommends weapons locating radar (WLR) guidance and oversees counterfire
  operations, to include, radar deployment orders, queuing schedules, and threat patterns in support of the
  targeting process. Weapons locating radar is a continuous target acquisition counterbattery system that
  detects in-flight projectiles, and communicates point of origin and point of impact locations. Targeting
  officers will manage requests to higher for effects outside of organic capability. For more information see
  FM 3-60.
  FIELD ARTILLERY INTELLIGENCE OFFICER
  2-13. The field artillery intelligence officer (FAIO) coordinates with brigade, corps and division internal and
  external intelligence elements to provide input to the development, nomination, and prioritization of high-
  value targets originating from the G-2/ or battalion or brigade intelligence staff officer (S-2) all source
  analysis section. A high-value target is a target the enemy commander requires for the successful completion
  of the mission (JP 3-60). During planning FAIOs assist the S-2/G-2 targeting (referred to as the G-2T) with
  target development, coordinate with the targeting officers for no-strike list and restricted target list
  management, the HPTL and AGM.
  2-14. The FAIO is primarily responsible for the development of the target selection standards working with
  both the information collection manager and the FS noncommissioned officer to determine cutoff values.
  The FAIO nominates targets to the FSE that are provided by the all-source analysts and fusion cell chiefs.
  The FAIO assists the S-2/G-2 with target value analysis and NAI/TAI development. When an Army, corps
  or division is serving as a JTF or joint force land component commander (JFLCC), the FAIO works closely
