Fire support

Fire support

Fire support is a military term referring to long-range firepower provided to a front-line unit. Typically, fire support is provided by artillery or close air support (usually directed by a forward observer), and is used to cause casualties and demoralize the enemy before or during an assault. Battleships have also been a viable form of fire support in the past.
