Abstract
Objective: In the fire support area, the joint force commander establishes a joint fire element to integrate, coordinate, coordinate, and control the planning of fires.
Methodology: In the qualitative stage, the research literature was analyzed by the content analysis method with Maxqda software, and the dimensions and components of the research were calculated. In the following, the calculated dimensions and components were validated by semi-structured interviews with 15 experts. In the following, the indicators were calculated from content analysis, and descriptive analysis was done with the questionnaire of 30 people of the sample community using Spss software. Finally, the relationships between dimensions, components, and indicators were determined by performing structural equations with Smart Pls software.
Findings: In the planning model of the joint force fire support system in Aja with the approach of identifying coordination and control needs in the future, the coordination and control dimension with the force fire support method component with 8 indicators, the joint fire support coordination measures component with 28 indicators and the coordination principles component Joint fire support was identified with 30 indicators.
Conclusion: The synchronization of joint fires requires the integration of simultaneous activities of intelligence, air operations, ground operations, naval operations, and logistics in time and place to achieve the goals and objectives of the joint force commander. Coordination and control will create different centralized and decentralized networks in planning fires in the joint force to enable coordinated management and command in peacetime and wartime.
