Fire Support Coordination Line

A Fire Support Coordination Line (FSCL) is a designated boundary used in military operations to manage the use of artillery and air support. It helps ensure that friendly forces and targeted enemy positions are clearly separated, preventing friendly fire incidents. The FSCL allows for effective communication and coordination between different military units, indicating where targeting can occur without prior approval. This enhances the efficiency of operations and minimizes the risk of casualties, enabling forces to engage the enemy while keeping their own troops safe.
