What is a fire plan?

• A. A plan that coordinates applicable fires, targets, sectors, and timing to support the operation.
• B. A plan to avoid all firing.
• C. A plan for evacuating civilians.
• D. A plan for deactivating weapons.

Answer: (A)

A fire plan explains how fires will be used to support the operation by coordinating what to shoot, where to shoot (sectors of fire), which targets, and when to fire. It ties together the available fires with the maneuver plan, ensuring synchronization with adjacent units and other actions, while also managing risk to friendly forces and civilians. This is why the correct choice is the one that describes coordinating applicable fires, targets, sectors, and timing to support the operation. The other options describe plans for avoiding firing, evacuating civilians, or deactivating weapons, which are not what a fire plan covers.
