  FIELD ARTILLERY BRIGADE
  4-17. A FAB's primary tasks are conducting corps-level strike operations and augmenting division setting
  the conditions for future operations. The FAB provides the corps with the capability to mass effects during
  shaping operations in the conduct of large-scale combat operations. The FAB can be task organized with
  delivery and sensor systems to support mission requirements. A division, corps, JTF or other force may have
  a FAB or its units attached or placed under OPCON. The FABs BNs are fully capable of providing DS to
  joint, SOF and other joint units. When operating under the control of the JFC or another Service, the theater
  Army commander or Army Forces commander exercises administrative control over the FAB. The FAB,
  when designated by the JFC, corps, or division commander, can serve as a counterfire HQ, or be assigned a
  counterfire mission. For more information on the FAB see ATP 3-09.24.
  DIVISION ARTILLERY
  4-18. DIVARTY controls the divisions' organic and attached FA units and indirect FS operations,
  coordinating closely with the division FSE for continuous operations to the division main, tactical, and rear
  area CP. To win in large-scale combat operations quickly, decisively and with minimum friendly causalities,
  each division must be supported with the fires of additional FABs equipped with long range precision fires
  capability. The DIVARTY can provide the counterfire HQ for the division. If allocated the necessary firing
  units, the target processing section of the TA platoon, in conjunction with the DIVARTY CP, can be
  designated to coordinate the counterfire fight for the division. For more information on DIVARTY
  organization and operations see ATP 3-09.90.
  4-19. The primary role of the DIVARTY is to facilitate shaping operations within the division AO. The
  DIVARTY serves as the FFA HQ for the division. Additionally, the DIVARTY commander, as the senior
  artilleryman in the division, is responsible for standardizing training for FA units that are assigned, attached,
  or placed under the OPCON of the division. The DIVARTY commander will mentor the commanders and
  leaders of these FA units and typically be assigned other key responsibilities on behalf of the division
  commander. Those responsibilities could include management of the assigned or attached 13-series career
  management field Soldiers, training oversight, and certification programs.
  4-20. The DIVARTY is task organized with firing units based on mission requirements. Task organization
  may include a combination of MLRS, or HIMARS, or cannon BNs as well as other enablers. The DIVARTY,
  when allocated appropriate rocket and cannon units, brings a long range and precision FS capability to the
  division. In large-scale combat operations, the corps commander may attach a FAB’s units to a DIVARTY
  utilizing a support relationship. The division commander can task organize the division’s FA units to the
  DIVARTY as necessary to support accomplishment of EFSTs.
  FIELD ARTILLERY BRIGADE AND DIVISION ARTILLERY ROLE IN COUNTERFIRE
  OPERATIONS
  4-21. The corps or division commander can assign the role of counterfire HQ to a FAB, DIVARTY, or a
  separate FA BN. The counterfire HQ must be allocated the necessary assets to conduct the counterfire fight.
  The counterfire HQ will coordinate with the G-2 to integrate all available units into the counterfire fight in a
  proactive manner. The counterfire HQ will require sensor tasking authority from higher HQ, SJA, intelligence
  analysis augmentation, additional CAS, and attack helicopter allocation to include JTAC support. The
  counterfire HQ duties include:
  * Plan and coordinate sensor management.
  * Conduct pattern analysis of enemy indirect fire systems.
  * Based off pattern analysis conduct zone management in support of the counterfire fight.
  * Recommend positioning of counterfire delivery systems.
  * Write the TA tab to Annex D.
  * Recommend counterfire TTP to facilitate permissive fires.
  * Participate in the targeting process.
  * Establish counterfire mission procedures and communications architecture.
