1. Fire appreciation is a logical process of reasoning by which a commander considers all relevant types and optimal quantities of available fires to decide what effect can be achieved against a particular target. The ultimate goal is answering five essential questions related to the engagement of a target with a certain delivery effect: which Weapons (Who?) will fire how many rounds (How Many?) of what type of munition (What?) using which firing method (How?) and which aimpoints (Where?).

2. The principal aim of this agreement is to standardise the mathematical models to answer only the questions 'How Many' and 'Where' for lethal munitions.
