Fire control measures are the means by which the Infantry
company commander or his subordinate leaders control direct
fires. Application of these concepts, procedures, and techniques
helps the unit acquire the enemy, focus fires on him, distribute
Direct fire control measures and
the effects of the fires, and prevent fratricide. At the same time,
weapons control status
no single measure is enough to control fires effectively. At
company level, fire control measures are effective only if the
entire unit has a common understanding of what they mean and
how to employ them.
