Explanation:
The Fire Support Plan is about turning the commander's intent into a coordinated fires sequence. It shows how fires will be planned, coordinated, and executed to support that intent, specifying what targets will be engaged, what assets will be used (artillery, close air support, mortars, etc.), how deconfliction will be achieved to prevent fratricide, and when those fires will occur. In short, it aligns fire power with the operation’s timing and sequencing, and ensures all fire support elements—observers, forward controllers, and firing units—work together under a common plan. This is not about casualty evacuation routes, logistics staffing, or weather data collection, which are handled by other plans or data sets.
