"It is clear that we face major threats on the modern battlefield with a relatively small quantity of field artillery. It follows that we must optimize the use of all indirect fire support resources available."
"The purpose of this 1971 handbook is to provide a ready reference for the field artillery fire support officer (formerly the field artillery liaison officer) who functions as a fire support coordinator for a maneuver brigade or battalion."
The purpose of this is to prescribe those precise drills to be executed by the units of the howitzer company which are not prescribed in TR 50-15, 420-45, and 420-50.
