text: Development of Essential Fire Support and Essential Field Artillery Tasks
  Table A-10. An example of a completed essential field artillery task (memory aid TTLODAC)
  Phase: IIa Buildup of combat power in PAA BLUE
  Task (what): Essential Field Artillery Task (EFAT) 2: Provide counter-fire on enemy fire support assets in AO
  WARRIOR.
  Purpose (why): Deny 841st motorized battalion group fire support assets the ability to mass indirect fires on 1BCT.
  Priority of fire: FA POF 1-71, 1-87, 2-22
  Allocations: C BTRY POF to 1-71, B BTRY POF to 2-22, A BTRY POF to 1-87
  Positioning guidance: C BTRY PAA BLUE 18T VP 40897612 AOF 1000; A BTRY PAA BLUE 18T VP 40897612
  AOF 1300 on order PAA RED 18T VP 47558085 AOF 2200; B BTRY 18T VP 40897612 AOF 1600 on order PAA
  PURPLE 18T VP 44508200 AOF 0800
  Restrictions/FSCMs: FSCL along PL Betty; CFL along PL Archie; NFA and CFZ over all friendly unit locations; RFA
