Who do you coordinate cross-boundary fires with if you are at the Battalion level?

Cross-boundary fires require coordination with the higher echelon that owns the fire plan across unit lines. At the battalion level, that is the regiment. The Regimental Fire Support Coordinator orchestrates fires that cross battalion boundaries, ensuring deconfliction, proper prioritization, and synchronization with adjacent units and any supporting air assets. The battalion’s own team works within its boundary, but for anything that crosses into another unit’s area, the regimental channel is the correct liaison. The commander and the battalion staff handle internal operations, while JTAC handles air-to-ground coordination, not ground-fire boundary crossings.
