INTRODUCTION

GENERAL. This publication should be read in conjunction with AArtyP-5 (NATO Fire Support Doctrine).

Aim of AArtyP-1(C). The aim of this publication is to detail the procedures agreed upon by NATO forces for use of their artillery units in order to produce timely and effective artillery support to manoeuvre units. Especially for para 2 and para 3 the procedures as described are to be used when Automated Data Processing (ADP) systems are not used. When using ADP systems between nations the templates depicted in AArty-P3 are to be used. In time it is foreseen that the procedures as described in AArty-P1(C) and AArty-P3, when both documents evolve, will come closer to each other.

Scope of AArtyP-1(C). This publication is concerned with fundamentals and those procedures likely to be used in multi-national operations. It does not, for the present, cover the complete range of technical artillery procedures
