  * Counterpreparation fire is the intensive prearranged fire delivered when the imminence of
  the enemy attack is discovered. It is designed to break up enemy formations; disorganize the
  enemy's system of command, communications, and observation; decrease effectiveness of artillery
  preparation; and impair the enemy's offensive spirit.
  * Suppress is a tactical mission task in which a unit temporarily degrades a force or weapon system
  from accomplishing its mission (FM 3-90).
  * Suppression in the context of the computed effects of field artillery fires, renders a target
  ineffective for a short period of time producing at least 3-percent casualties or materiel
  damage.
  * Suppressive fire are fires on or about a weapons system to degrade its performance below
  the level needed to fulfill its mission objectives during the conduct of the fires.
  * Counterbattery fire is fire delivered for the purpose of destroying or neutralizing indirect fire
  weapon systems.
  * Harassing fire an unpredictable and intermittent fire designated to disturb enemy troops not
  physically engaged in combat with the intent to curtail movement, readiness, ability to fight,
  and lower morale.
  3-67. The commander can also provide targeting restrictions as part of his guidance for FS support. Targeting
  restrictions fall into two categories-the no-strike list and the restricted target list:
  * No-Strike List is a list of objects or entities characterized as protected from the effects of military
  operations under international law and/or rules of engagement (JP 3-60). The no-strike list is not
  a target list. Deliberately engaging or not taking sufficient precaution to avoid these objects or
  entities may violate the law of war.
  * Restricted target list is a list of restricted targets nominated by elements of the joint force and
  approved by the joint force commander or directed by higher authorities (JP 3-60). A restricted
  target list is a list of valid military targets that could be on the joint integrated prioritized target list
  that have restrictions placed upon their engagement by the JFC or directed by higher authorities.
  (for more information see JP 3-60). Examples of possible restrictions are:
   Limit collateral damage by a defined amount and do not strike during daytime.
   Strike only with a certain weapon.
  COURSE OF ACTION DEVELOPMENT
  3-68. Simultaneously with the supported staff, fire support planners develop a fire support execution matrix
  in conjunction with the MDMP COA development, and HPT refinement (see table 3-7) for general
  considerations during COA Development). FS planners develop EFSTs based on identified HPTs and
  commanders’ guidance. The HPTL, target selection standards, and AGM are developed to ensure each EFST
  is adequately addressed. Once EFSTs are completed a FS execution matrix is finalized to create the FS plan.
  FA planners develop a FA support plan as an annex to the FS plan.
