This publication also provides guidance for the assignment of artillery missions, organization for combat, fire planning, and tactical employment of artillery weapons. This publication embodies the Marine Corps' warfighting philosophy as established in Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication (MCDP) 1, Warfighting, and MCDP 1-0, Marine Corps Operations, to establish a dynamic, operational infrastructure that provides artillery support to Marine forces. MCWP 3-16.1 supersedes Fleet Marine Force Manual (FMFM) 6-9, Marine Artillery Support, dated 29 June 1993.

This Marine Corps publication, FM 6-50 MCRP 3-10E.3 (Formerly MCWP 3-16.3) Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for the Field Artillery Cannon Battery May 2016, is designed primarily for the cannon battery. It is a how-to-train manual intended to provide general guidance to the commander and his principal subordinates. It is designed for battery leaders and sets forth suggested duties and responsibilities of key personnel and addresses doctrine and procedures for cannon battery operations and training, It is based on current tables of organization and equipment (TOE) and provides a starting point from which each commander can adjust his battery operations and training based on his modification tables of organization and equipment (MTOE); actual personnel and equipment till; local training scenario; and mission, enemy, terrain, troops, and time available (METT-T).

MCRP 3-10E.6 (Formerly MCWP 3-16.7) Marine Artillery Survey Operations 2 May 2016, sets forth the doctrinal foundation and technical informationthat Marines need to provide accurate and timely survey support. It covers a broad spectrum of issues from general knowledge to Marine-specific equipment.As one of the five requirements for accurate predicted fire, survey is critical to the success of artillery (and ultimately maneuver) on the modern battlefield. Marine artillery surveyors support firing units and target acquisition assets, enabling indirect fires to mass effectively and deliver surprise observed fires and effective unobserved fires

Marine Corps Techniques Publication MCTP 3-30C Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 3-41.1, Rear Area Operations 2 May 2016, describes the Marine Corps' approach to rear area operations. It provides general doctrinal guidance for the Marine Corps component and the Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) commander and staff responsible for executing rear area operations. The principles and planning considerations discussed in this publication are applicable to the Marine Corps component and all MAGTFs and their subordinate commands. This publication identifies the functions that occur within the rear area, which are integrated within the warfighting functions, to support the conduct of the single battle. It also discusses the command and control of rear area operations from the joint level to individual bases, planning considerations, and the execution of the rear area operations functions. This publication does not provide detailed tactics, techniques, or procedures for rear area security.

Marine Corps Reference Publication MCRP 3-10E.7 (Formerly MCRP 3-16.1A) Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Field Artillery Target Acquisition 2 May 2016 Target acquisition, by nature, is an integral part of the targeting process and requires the interaction among many groups within a given organization. Field artillery target acquisition plays a key role in the targeting process. Without accurate targeting data, indirect fire systems are of limited value. Targeting is a command responsibility that requires the participation of key members of maneuver and field artillery coordinating and special staffs. It is a critical component of the MDMP that focuses battlefield operating systems to achieve the commander's intent. As such, the targeting process focuses on mission requirements.

Marine Corps Tactical Publication MCTP 3-01C (Formerly MCWP 3-15.1) Machine Guns and Machine Gun Gunnery 2 May 2016 describes how various machine guns are maintained and employed by the U.S. Marine Corps' machine gun crews. It also provides the principles and techniques for their use in engaging and destroying enemy targets.

Marine Corps Techniques Publication MCTP 3-10F (Formerly MCWP 3-16) Fire Support Coordination in the Ground Combat Element 2 May 2016, is a framework for coordinating and employing supporting arms in consonance with maneuver elements. While this publication covers many aspects of fire support, it focuses on fire support coordination in the infantry division, regiment, and battalion. The doctrine applies across the full range of military operations-from humanitarian assistance to a major theater war. Fire support doctrine is based on a common understanding of the nature of war and on our warfighting philosophy as described in Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication (MCDP) 1, Warfighting. This doctrine provides for fast, flexible, and decisive action in a complex environment characterized by friction, uncertainty, fluidity, and rapid change. This publication is a field reference guide for commanders, their staffs, and fire support coordination personnel. It forms the basis for specific fire support coordination tactics, techniques, and procedures. This publication supersedes Fleet Marine Force Manual (FMFM) 6-18, Techniques and Procedures for Fire Support Coordination, dated 27 March 1992.
