Show Notes
“Thinking Inside the Box” brings you interviews with the United States Army’s experts in combined arms maneuver, the Observer Coach Trainers (OC/Ts) of Operations Group, at the National Training Center (NTC), Fort Irwin, California.
In this Episode we discuss Proactive Counterfire in a large-scale combat operation. Proactive counterfire, as defined in ATP 3-09.12, is the specific targeting of enemy indirect fire systems including their C2, sensors, platforms, and logistics before they engage friendly forces. Proactive counterfire is a focus area for units as they train in the box at the National Training Center. To get insights on some of the trends observed at The National Training Center we interviewed LTC Jay Johnson, MAJ Tom Stevenson, CW3 David Brown, and CW3 William Woods, members of the Fire Support Team.
