  * PACE plan.
  * Alternate attack systems to be used in the engagement of specific targets.
  * Positioning of munitions, observers, and weapon systems.
  * Execution of EFSTs.
  * Fire support execution matrix.
  * Practicality and functionality of FSCMs.
  * Purpose and triggers of FSCMs.
  * Clear understanding of attack guidance matrix and target selection standards.
  * Priority of fires.
  * FS procedures in the rear area.
  FIELD ARTILLERY TACTICAL REHEARSALS
  3-91. FA tactical rehearsals are support rehearsals that ensure the FA unit OPLAN or OPORD properly plan
  and synchronize FA tactical fire control. An FA tactical rehearsal may include the FSCOORD/FA
  Commander, supporting and subordinate firing unit commanders (and staffs), FSOs, key firing unit staff to
  include the S-2, S-3, S-4, S-6, SJA, Fire Control and Fire Direction personnel, select observers, and the radar
  platoon leader. These personnel must be thoroughly familiar with clearance of fires procedures, restrictive
  and permissive FSCMs, FA target lists and schedules, trigger points and events, movement and displacement
  plans, combat service support provisions, and C2, and communications handover requirements. The FA
  Commander also ensures the following are discussed during the FA tactical rehearsal:
  * Scheme of maneuver, friendly, and enemy actions that initiate each phase.
  * Enemy situation.
  * Concept of operations.
  * Commander's guidance for fires.
  * EFSTs.
  * FA organization for combat and command and support relationships.
  * Required supply rate and CSR implications.
  * Tactical execution of FA essential tasks, the FA support matrix, schedules of fires, and schedules
  of targets - primary and backup methods.
  * Tactical fire control and mission routing procedures.
  * Clearance of fires requirements and procedures.
  * Commander's attack criteria and priority of fires considerations.
  * Effectiveness of FA movement and positioning plans, primary and alternate, for firing, control,
  and sustainment elements.
  * Targeting, counterfire, and suppression enemy air defense (SEAD) operations.
  * WLR positions and zones.
  * Mutual support and continuity operations.
  * Communications requirements - use and positioning of retransmission equipment, use of voice
  versus digital. Utilizing a PACE plan.
  * Survey requirements.
  * Timing and synchronization of FA efforts with maneuver, maritime, space, cyberspace, and
  airspace operations.
  * Clear understanding of ROE and procedures for clearing fires.
  * MET requirements.
  * Resupply triggers, especially for low-density munitions.
  * CBRN decontamination operations.
  * Protection requirements for FA units (infantry, ADA, engineer, military police).
  * Ensure protection battle drills are developed and rehearsed to account for reaction to enemy air,
  ground, CBRN, indirect fire, jamming, or CEMA attacks.
