The Importance of Presence - The Naval Service's Impact on Kill Box Multiservice Tactics Techniques and Procedures

Abstract

The kill box is a modern multi-service tactics techniques and procedures (MTTP) handbook for an inherently joint fire support coordination measure, but the historical knowledge of the naval service at integrating joint fires failed to reach full inclusion in the early revisions of the Kill Box MTTP. This study seeks to identify the root cause of a delay just short of a decade for the incorporation of command and control of kill boxes which were an inherent success to operations of the naval service in Operation Iraqi Freedom. The study derives conclusions from primary source data, oral histories, and historical analysis.
