Who lays the CFL?

The boundary that coordinates and limits fires between units is established where control of fires is most closely tied to the maneuver unit’s sector. The battalion is the level that commands and integrates fires for its maneuver units, coordinates with adjacent units, and prevents fires from crossing sectors without clearance. A platoon or company doesn’t have the authority to lay cross-unit fire boundaries, and a brigade would set boundaries at a higher echelon than the battalion’s area of operation. So, the battalion lays the CFL.
