A brief discussion of the keynotes and presentations held at the 2016 AUSA Annual Meeting.

The proliferation of new and sophisticated conventional capabilities are emerging that are designed to exploit U.S. Army weaknesses. From unmanned aerial systems to being tracked across the electromagnetic spectrum, what is Fires role as the future of war becomes more and more reliant on networks of computers? This issue discusses fighting in degraded and destroyed operations; operational security liabilities; and training to emphasize cover, concealment, dispersion, and operating without emitting a signal.

There are various levels of shared knowledge and capabilities across sister services, allies and partners. How is Fires successfully integrating on the battlefield? This issue will discuss employing centralized vs. decentralized Fires; conducting joint/multinational tactical fire direction; developing a common understanding with joint/multinational Fires assets/systems; developing and refining fire support plans and supporting products; improving airspace coordination and clearance of Fires and more.

How is the Fires force operating as part of the joint dynamic to penetrate and disintegrate enemy anti-access and area denial systems; exploit the resulting freedom of maneuver to defeat enemy systems, formations and objectives and to achieve strategic objectives; and consolidate gains to force a return to competition on terms more favorable to the U.S., allies and partners? This issue will also discuss the Army Multi Domain Targeting Center’s mission and Fires force modernization to be effective in multi-domain operations.

May-June 2019, Globally Integrated Fires. This issue will discuss topics related to the annual Fires Conference. In an expanded competitive space, Fires needs overmatch across the competition continuum. To do so, means globally integrating in joint and partnered operations across all domains. What steps are being taken to gain a common defense and a complementary capability with allies and partners? What technical and tactical gaps are present?

The Fires Center of Excellence creates the world’s premier Fires force, ready to “fight tonight,” employ responsive cross-domain Fires, win in a complex world, and return home safely.This issue will discuss school house training including new rigor in professional military education, Fires career paths and other Army structures currently in place or ones that are necessary to create a lethal force.

The Red Book is a year in review for the Fires force including Reserve, National Guard and Marine units. The Red Book highlights U.S. Army Field Artillery, Air Defense Artillery and U.S. Marine Corps Field Artillery unit activities at the brigade-level and lower.

How are we balancing future and past training methods? This issue will discuss counter unmanned aerial systems, electronic warfare and cyber integration, simulation vs. field time training, and lessons learned from Operation Inherent Resolve, Syria, Ukraine and more.

September-October 2018, Competitive convergence. The Army wants to be ready to defend against formidable enemies including Russia, North Korea and China. How is the force preparing?
This issue will also discuss the multi-domain battle and how Fires is moving to fight in this way, the Fires Battle Lab’s Fires Convergence Experiment, the Army Targeting Center’s expanded mission and Field artillery and air defense artillery branch transformation.

This issue takes a look at the current successes and shortfalls in how Fires supports maneuver. It also discusses Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense, interoperability with joint partners and more.

This issue has information and topics to be discussed at the 2018 Fires Conference. It also discusses equipment upgrades and impacts, how to survive the permanent change-of-station season, promotion tips and more.

This issue discusses the role of the joint forward observer in cross domain Fires; rapid capabilities; the redesign of FA/ADA military occupational specialities; changes in doctrine; equipment upgrades; and lessons learned from combat training centers.

The Red Book recaps a year in review for the Fires force including Reserve, National Guard and Marine units. The 2017 Red Book will highlight U.S. Army Field Artillery, Air Defense Artillery and U.S. Marine Corps artillery unit activities at the brigade-level and lower.

Battle ready: The fight begins before Soldiers and Marines ever roll onto the battlefield. This issue will cover how the Fires force is preparing for the enemy before they lock and load, Fires doctrine update, the evolution of Fires doctrine in support of cross domain Fires, understanding the current threat environment, moving on from the counter-insurgency fight, leveraging classroom and simulator training opportunities and lessons learned from the field, battery and below.

Sept.-Oct. 2017, Intelligent warfare: Drones can kill, but the information they gather can be even deadlier. This issue will cover leveraging the division and brigade unmanned aerial system (UAS) fleet to support Fires tasks, counter-UAS strategy, from concept to reality, synchronizing intelligence collection and fire support, understanding electronic warfare in the era of cross domain Fires, field artillery and air defense artillery schools training Soldiers and Marines to meet and identify the challenges.

July-August 2017, Expanding cross domain Fires: The Fires force doesn’t fight from land only. The field artillery and air defense artillery are integral parts of the multi-domain battle providing cross-domain Fires. Topics to be covered: supporting joint combined arms maneuver; leader development strategies supporting the expansion of cross domain Fires; the Army Targeting Center.

This issue will highlight the events and speakers of the 2017 Fires Conference. Topics include: winners of this year’s Knox, Gruber, Hamilton and Shipton awards; dedication of the 95th Reception Headquarters in honor of retired Gen. John Vessey; lessons learned from the Fires force (Combat Training Center through Warfighter).

The Fires force is evolving with new requirements, new recruits, less manpower and money to accomplish the mission. Topics to be covered: Merging military occupational specialties in field artillery and air defense artillery; changes to how the artillery engages and identifies targets; updates to weapon systems such as the IBCS and AFATDS.

The Red Book is a year in review for 2016. It highlights the U.S. Army Field Artillery, Air Defense Artillery and U.S. Marine Corps Field Artillery and what the Fires force has accomplished in 2016.

Honoring tradition creates a tremendous sense of pride in the ranks. This issue will converge on the commonality of the two branches and look at where the Air Defense and Field Artillery branches are rooted; to their emerging roles in counter-fire, counter-UAS and future-Fires combat scenarios as the pillars of the Fires warfighting function.

The Army has always maintained its strength is in its diversity and the human element. This issue will look at how the Army is optimizing the human dimension by taking the best we have and making them better through intellectual optimization and advancing creative and critical thinking. Optimizing cognitive, physical and social strengths allows us to achieve advantage over a situation or adversary in ambiguous, chaotic and complex operating environments. Improved leader development and educational modernization are needed for cohesive team building; our force needs to win and move beyond the fight against sexual harassment, achieving gender equality and removing discrimination in military occupational specialities.

Leveraging JIM: Pieces of the Puzzle. This issue looks into how the Fires Soldier fights alongside sister services and allied forces to be effective throughout a theater. Soldiers execute joint training with Marines, Navy, and Air Force personnel to simulate battlefield environments and prepare for real world threats. Stories will also look into how Soldiers work with allied forces to strengthen Joint, Interagency, and Multinational relations and learn better ways to defend critical assets from air and missile threats in a hybrid war.

With the Army's active-duty end strength dropping to 450,000 by the end of FY 2017 the Fires force is leveraging the human dimension to support the Army's implementation of Force 2025 and Beyond. A leaner, more dynamic Army is navigating its way against elusive enemies in a time when restructuring and the return of division artillery and sownsizing are occurring simultaneously. This issue will look into how enhancing the Fires platfrom through training, doctrine and leadership development allows Soldiers to effectively fight with new efficiencies.
