FM/BG-1107.V1.01 - Preparatory fires                        
                                
        
        Preparation involves striking the objective with available firepower, artillery, mortars, CAS, or heavy weapons prior to the assault. Targets should be based on recon intel. Fires should ideally continue during the assault and shift just before the assaulting element reaches the objective to maximize confusion and shock.
