  support, naval surface fires support and other joint assets. The Air Force TACP typically collocates with the
  BCT FSE. The BCT FSE works closely with BN FSEs and company FIST. These organizations ensure
  responsive and effective fire support is provided to their respective supported commanders and actions are
  closely coordinated through the BCT main CP and FSE. For more information on the BCT FSE see ATP 3-
  09.42.
  COMBAT AVIATION BRIGADE FIRE SUPPORT ELEMENT
  2-39. The combat aviation brigade (CAB) FSE integrates FS into the scheme of maneuver by developing a
  scheme of fires and leading the targeting working group in close coordination with the CAB battalion or
  brigade operations staff officer (S-3), S-2, and commander. Both missions are critical to the success of
  aviation operations. For more information on the CAB FSE see ATP 3-04.1.
  BATTALION FIRE SUPPORT ELEMENT AND COMPANY FIRE SUPPORT TEAM
  2-40. FSEs in the BCT’s maneuver BNs and CABs air reconnaissance squadron provide a fire support
  coordination capability for BN operations and are organized with an FSO and FS non-commissioned officer
  an EW non-commissioned officer, and digital systems operators. The BN HQ may also have an Air Force
  TACP. Infantry and armor company and troop FIST enable effective artillery, mortar, and joint FS for the
  maneuver force. For more information on the BN and company FSE see ATP 3-09.42.
  FIELD ARTILLERY COMMAND POSTS
  2-41. FA CPs integrate FA operations, targeting, and attack elements and synchronize the execution of FA
  missions. CPs must aggressively seek information about the current tactical situation (friendly unit locations,
  obstacles, cleared lanes, and bypassed units), while disseminating this information to all subordinate and
  supporting units. Because FA CPs are primary enemy targets, they should be as small and mobile as possible
  to allow for rapid and frequent displacement – this practice enables FS leaders to effectively account for
  being under constant enemy observation.
  FIELD ARTILLERY BRIGADE COMMAND POST
  2-42. FAB CPs C2 the operations of subordinate FA BNs. They integrate FS planning and coordination,
  execution, target production, and information from all intelligence sources. A FAB can serve as the FFA HQ
  for a Corps or JTF, or the counterfire HQ for a JTF, corps, or division. Army National Guard FABs have a
  dual role, serving as both the Army National Guard division commander's FFA HQ and as a FAB when
  required. For more information on the FAB see ATP 3-09.24.
  DIVISION ARTILLERY COMMAND POST
  2-43. As a division's FFA HQs, the DIVARTY plans, directs, coordinates, and controls the fires of all
  organic, attached, and reinforcing (R) FA units supporting the division. The CP develops FA support plans
  and ensures that available firepower adequately supports the division concept of operations. The DIVARTY
  can serve as the counterfire HQs for the division or can delegate that role to a R FA unit since divisional
  assets engaging division HPTs beyond the close area are limited in large-scale combat operations.
  2-44. If the counterfire HQ is delegated to a R FA unit, it is important to remember that the DIVARTY
  commander remains responsible for the overall division counterfire fight as the division commander's
  FSCOORD. The DIVARTY CP provides the division with the ability to have an alternate CP if the division
  CP must displace or is incapacitated. The DIVARTY CP may perform C2 tasks for the division for a limited
  period only. For more information on DIVARTY organization and operations see ATP 3-09.90.
  FORCE FIELD ARTILLERY HEADQUARTERS COMMAND POST
  2-45. A force field artillery headquarters is a battalion size or higher units designated by the supported
  commander who specifies its duration, duties, and responsibilities. A command’s organic FA HQ is
  normally the FFA HQ (DIVARTY). When formations do not have an organic FA HQ (to include a JTF), the
  respective commander may designate an FFA HQ such as a FAB. Functions of the FFA HQ may include:
