Fire Support in the Era of the Army after Next
Abstract
The Chief of Staff of the Army has specified that the Army must begin planning now to remain a viable force in the year 2025. That Army force, the Army After Next, will need robust fire support to defeat the anticipated threats. This paper describes the Army After Next methodology and how that was derived from Joint Vision 2010 and Army XXI. The anticipated threat is outlined, as is how many visionaries see the structure of the Army After Next. The fire support requirements are detailed and compared with the current technologies available. Feasible fire support alternatives are described with emphasis on joint fire support capabilities. Recommendations are rendered on providing fire support to the early entry forces, the focus of the Army After Next.
