Training Circular (TC) 3-09.81, "Field Artillery Manual Cannon Gunnery," sets forth the doctrine pertaining to the employment of artillery fires. It explains all aspects of the manual cannon gunnery problem and presents a practical application of the science of ballistics. It includes step-by-step instructions for manually solving the gunnery problem which can be applied within the framework of decisive action or unified land operations. It is applicable to any Army personnel at the battalion or battery responsible to delivered field artillery fires. The principal audience for ATP 3-09.42 is all members of the Profession of Arms. This includes field artillery Soldiers and combined arms chain of command field and company grade officers, middle-grade and senior noncommissioned officers (NCO), and battalion and squadron command groups and staffs. This manual also provides guidance for division and corps leaders and staffs in training for and employment of the BCT in decisive action. This publication may also be used by other Army organizations to assist in their planning for support of battalions. This manual builds on the collective knowledge and experience gained through recent operations, numerous exercises, and the deliberate process of informed reasoning. It is rooted in time-tested principles and fundamentals, while accommodating new technologies and diverse threats to national security.

Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 3-16, Fire Support Coordina- tion in the Ground Combat Element, is a framework for coordinating and em- ploying supporting arms in consonance with maneuver elements.

I scanned the original manual at 600 dpi.

The purpose of this publication is to provide heavy forces fire support officers and enlisted personnel at maneuver company, battalion and brigade with a how-to manual. It focuses on fire support officers (FSOs) in mechanized infantry, armor, and task forces at brigade and below. This publication, “Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Fire Support for Brigade Operations (Heavy) (FM 6-20-40),” describes maneuver techniques and fire support considerations. It established responsibilities and duties of key personnel by focusing on how the fire support system can support the ground-gaining arms. Maneuver and fire support doctrine should be studied in depth to obtain a complete understanding of doctrine, tactics, and techniques. That basic understanding is a prerequisite in order to effectively apply the contents of this how-to manual. This manual is fully compatible with the Army AirLand Battle doctrine and is consistent with current joint and combined doctrine. It assumes that the user has a fundamental understanding of the fire support principles set forth in FM 6-20.
