text: Foundational Guidelines
  FIRE SUPPORT COORDINATOR
  1-65. The fire support coordinator is the senior field artillery commander for the theater, corps, division, and
  brigade combat team who is the maneuver commander’s primary advisor to plan, coordinate, and integrate
  field artillery and fire support in the execution of assigned tasks (FM 3-09).
  1-66. The FSCOORD works closely with the chief of staff or executive officer, the G-2 and G-3 to ensure
  mutual understanding of all aspects of planning, preparation, execution, and assessment of fires in support of
  operations. The FSCOORD supervises the execution of targeting tasks or activities by coordinating with
  respective higher HQs, Joint Air Operations Center, battlefield coordination detachment (BCD), and other
  unified action partners as needed.
  1-67. The FSCOORD establishes the targeting process based on the commander's guidance and intent, by
  ensuring integration and synchronization of targeting battle rhythm events into the unit's battle rhythm
  vertically and horizontally across commands. They establish the targeting working group and targeting
  coordination board agenda.
  1-68. The FSCOORD oversees the development and management (with assistance from the G-2 and SJA)
  of the HPTL, JTL/RTL and NSL as applicable at echelon. They oversee the development of the target
  nominations list for external support and recommend engagement procedures for targets of opportunity. The
  FSCOORD chairs the targeting working group and facilitates the targeting coordination board as delegated.
  AIR LIAISON OFFICER
  1-69. The air liaison officer (ALO) is responsible for advising on air operations. The ALO is the senior Air
  Force officer with each tactical air control party. The ALO supervises the execution of targeting tasks or
  activities by advising the targeting team on the employment of air assets.
  1-70. The ALO facilitates the integration of air capabilities to support target execution efforts and ensures
  digital communications are established with the air component to support targeting. They participate in
  targeting battle rhythm events as necessary.
  TARGETING OFFICER
  1-71. Targeting officers are assigned to field artillery BNs, field artillery brigades (FAB), division artillery
  (DIVARTY), combat aviation brigades, FSEs from brigade combat team (BCT) through corps, fires cells at
  echelons above corps (EAC), cyber mission teams, and special forces units. Targeting officers drive the unit's
  targeting process and are technical experts on all matters relating to Army and joint targeting.
  1-72. Targeting officers ensure the targeting process, systems integration, personnel training, and supporting
  procedures comply with Army and joint standards. Targeting officers participate in the MDMP and
  coordinate with other staff members in the development of targeting products (HPTL, TSS, AGM, TSM) to
  support the unit's mission.
  1-73. Targeting officers advise the commander and staff on all facets of targeting and oversee digital
  targeting systems integration at echelon. The targeting officer references TSA and outputs from MDMP, IPB,
  joint intelligence preparation of the operational environment, identifies HPTs, and develop opportunities
  within all domains. They assist in measure of performance (MOP), and measure of effectiveness (MOE)
  development, and supports the targeting team in the development of BDA criteria. For more information on
  TSA see JP 3-60.
  1-74. Targeting officers recommend entities for inclusion on targeting lists and conduct target development
  and nomination (at echelon). They develop and submit unit targets requiring the sensitive target approval and
  review process. Targeting officers facilitate targeting battle rhythm events and conduct battle handoff of
  targeting products with current operation. They ensure ROE (with the SJA) and authorities are communicated
  and adhered to by the targeting team; and develop and ensure the publication of targeting guidance; and
  ensure changes to the approved targeting lists and other targeting-related products are published in
  fragmentary orders.
