Used to coordinate fires of air, ground, or sea weapon systems using any type of ammo against
surface targets
Establishment must be coordinated with the appropriate air commander and other supporting

Must inform forces of the position of this line to prevent unauthorized support fire or potential
friendly fire incidents.
Kill Box - ANS-A three dimensional area used to facilitate the integration of joint fires
Once established, allows for the lethal attack of surface targets without further coordination with
the establishing commander or terminal attack control
Goal: Reduce the required coordination for fulfilling support requirements w/ maximum flexibility,
while preventing friendly fire incidents

TST - ANS-Time Sensitive Target
Requires immediate response from friendly forces
Pose or soon will pose a danger to friendlies
or, they are highly valuable, fleeing ToO
High Priority task list - ANS-List of important targets that receive priority when TST's and direct
support targets are not available
Takes precedence over all priorities except TST and troops in contact
