What does FSCM stand for?

• A. Fire Support Coordination Measures
• B. Fire Support Control Measures
• C. Fire Service Coordination Metrics
• D. Forward Steering Coordination Method

Answer: (A)

Coordinating and deconflicting fires across artillery, air, and other weapons in support of maneuver is essential to keep units safe while ensuring fires are effective. FSCM stands for Fire Support Coordination Measures. These are the rules, lines, areas, and procedures that control where and when fires can be used, so fire is timely and deconflicted with friendly maneuver. Examples include the Fire Support Coordination Line, Free Fire Area, No-Fire Area, and Restricted Fire Line. They help prevent fratricide and coordinate various shooters with ground operations to maximize impact. The other expanded terms don’t reflect the established terminology used to describe this framework for coordinating fires in combined arms operations.
