  FIRE SUPPORT PLANNING AND COORDINATION PRINCIPLES
  3-35. The commander's ability to orchestrate and employ all available FS resources as a system and to
  integrate and synchronize fire support with the concept of operations results from an established process
  known as fire support planning and coordination. Fire support planning is the continuous process of
  analyzing, allocating, integrating, synchronizing, and scheduling fires to describe how the effects of
  fires facilitate supported force actions. Successful FS planning is the result of the FSCOORD's aggressive
  contribution to the supported commander's planning and decision-making process. Fire support coordination
  is the planning and executing of fire, so targets are adequately covered by a suitable weapon or group of
  weapons (JP 3-09). Formal coordination binds FS resources together to create a unity of effort so that the
  multiple effects of each fire support asset across all domains are rapidly and continuously integrated and
  synchronized with the scheme of maneuver.
  3-36. Fighting in large-scale combat operations requires more careful FS planning because of the limited
  resources available to acquire and attack targets at extended ranges, and requires detailed coordination and
  employment of TA, attack, and assessment needs across all domains.
  3-37. The FSCOORD utilizes the principles of fire support planning and coordination when advising the
  commander on the execution of fire support. These principles are extensions of our functions of fire support.
  The fire support planning and coordination principles are:
  * Plan early and continuously. To effectively integrate fire support with the commander's concept
  of the operation, planning must begin when the commander states the mission and provides
  commander's guidance. The commander's guidance must be clear, concise, and understood.
  Whenever commander's guidance is not understood during the planning of an operation, fire
  support planners should solicit that guidance from the commander. Planning is continuous and
  must keep pace with the dynamics of the operation.
  * Ensure the continuous flow of targeting information. The FSCOORD ensures that TA
