  Fire Support Cell
  4-243. Fire support are fires that directly support land, maritime, amphibious, space, cyberspace, and
  special operations forces to engage enemy forces,combat formations,and facilities in pursuit of tacticaland
  operational objectives (JP3-09). The fire support cell and its elements integrate the fires warfighting function
  within the BCT. The BCT fire support officer leads this cell. Soldiers who have expertise integral to the fires
  warfighting function staff the fire support cell. The cell has resources to plan for future operations from the
  main CP and to support current operations from the TAC when deployed. Additionally, the cell has the
  limited capability to provide coverage to the command group when deployed.
  4-244. The fire support cell plans,prepares,executes,and assesses fires. The cell synchronizes the effects
  of fires with other elements of combat power to accomplish the commander’s intent. During the targeting
  process,the fire support cell develops high-payoff targets—a target whose loss to the enemy will significantly
  contribute to the success of the friendly course of action (JP 3-60)—and, prioritizes targets for attack.
  High-value targets—a target the enemy commander requires for the successful completion of the mission
  (JP 3-60)—are developed such as enemy artillery formations,reserves,and command and control. The cell
  matches a wide range of targeting and delivering systems and integrates air defense and airspace
  management. The fire support cell coordinates with the joint air-ground integration center (JAGIC), in the
  division’s current operations integrating cell, for the execution of fires in support of current and future
  operations (see ATP 3-91.1). The JAGIC ensures the fire support cellhas current fire support coordination
  measures and airspace coordinating measures and that all BCT fires are executed within BCT airspace
  parameters. The JAGIC may also execute fires,through the BCT fire support cell,in specific situations.
  4-245. The ADAM element and the BAE collocate within the fire support cell (see ATP 3-01.50 and
  FM3-04,respectively). The ADAM/BAE cell composed of Army air and missile defense and aviation staff
  supports the BCT commander and staff by providing situational understanding of the airspace and early
  warning via connectivity with airspace users and with multinational partner’s sensors and command
  networks. The ADAM/BAE cell coordinates closely with the BCT TACP to identify close air support
  airspace requirements and facilitate air-ground integration. The cell coordinates airspace and aviation support
  issues with other BCT cells,participates directly in the targeting process,airspace management,air defense,
  and may be a part of most working groups and meetings. The ADAM/BAE is responsible for integrating
  airspace requirements in the BCT unit airspace plan and submits airspace requirements to the division
  airspace element.
  4-246. The TACP is the principal air liaison unit collocated with the fire support cell in the main CP.
  Selected portions of the cell can deploy with the TACwhen used. The air liaison officer is the senior TACP
  member attached to the BCT who functions as the primary advisor to the BCT commander on air operations.
  The TACP has two primary missions: advise the BCT commander and staff on the capabilities and limitations
  of air operations and provide the primary terminal attack control of close air support. TACPs may employ
  joint terminal attack controllers (JTACs) at any echelon. The JTAC is a qualified and certified Service
  member,whodirects the action of combat aircraft engaged in close air support and other air operations. The
  JTAC provides the ground commander recommendations on the use of close air support and its integration
  with ground maneuver. (SeeJP 3-09.3and ATP 3-04.1 for additional information.)
  4-247. The brigade judge advocate participates in the planning and targeting processes. Additionally, the
  trial counsel assists the brigade judge advocate on nationallaw matters and is a standing member of working
  groups, targeting boards, and the fire support cell. The brigade legal section’s inclusion in planning,
  on-boarding,and working groups helps the legal section to have a full awareness of all the issues. The legal
  section should advise the command about matters such as rules of engagement. The legal section also should
  review any output for legal sufficiency and provide responsive advice for proposed follow-on operations.
  (SeeFM 1-04 for additional information.)
  4-248. The EWO leads the EW andthe CEMA working groups. The determination of which working group
  is appropriate is situation dependent based on which portion of the information environment desired effects
  occur. The EWO plans,coordinates,assesses,and supports the execution of EW and other CEMA,supports
  the BCT S-2 during IPB and the fire support officer to ensure electromagneticattack fires are prioritized and
  integrated with all other effects. The EWO plans, assesses, and implements friendly electronic security
  measures,serves as EW subject matter expert on existing EW rules of engagement,and maintains a current
