Fire Support Coordinator

A Fire Support Coordinator (FSC) is a military expert who plans and manages the use of artillery, air support, or other firepower to assist ground troops during operations. They act as a bridge between commanders and fire units, ensuring accurate, timely, and safe deployment of firepower to achieve mission objectives. The FSC analyzes battlefield situations, coordinates with pilots and artillery crews, and communicates detailed targeting information to prevent friendly fire while maximizing combat effectiveness. Their role is essential for integrating fire support seamlessly into broader military tactics.
