Understanding Operational Fires and Interdiction

Abstract

This research paper will add to the readers understanding of the difficulties of applying force interdiction capabilities. Also, how to use a systematic approach to the understanding and optimization of employing operational fires and interdiction. As the military reduces its size, the only successful form of strategic, operational and tactical employment will be in the joint use of complementing forces. This paper provides examples of assessment and evaluations and previous conflicts and major training exercises. Identified within these after action reviews are the shortfalls and lack of coordination of maximizing all new technological systems available to the operational commander. Thesis intent is to provide for the amelioration of operational unity of effort. ... Synchronization, Optimization, Coordination Command, Control, Training, Development.
