Fire Support Element (FSE)

A Fire Support Element (FSE) is a military unit responsible for coordinating and directing firepower to support ground troops during combat. This includes managing various weapons systems, such as artillery, air support, and naval gunfire, to ensure that they effectively target enemy positions while minimizing risks to friendly forces. The FSE assesses the battlefield, prioritizes targets, and communicates with different units to request and adjust fire, enhancing overall operational efficiency and effectiveness in achieving military objectives. It plays a critical role in integrating and optimizing fire support for ground operations.
