direct supporting fire
Direct supporting fire is a form of military operation where artillery or air units provide immediate fire support to combat units engaged in active battle. The fire is aimed directly at enemy position or forces, with the aim of neutralizing, suppressing, or destroying them. This enhances the effectiveness of the combat troops, aids their movement and protects them from enemy attacks. Control and coordination of direct supporting fire typically lies with the maneuver commander at the front lines.
