CHAPTER 1
MISSION, ORGANIZATION, AND KEY
PERSONNEL
Section I
MISSION AND GENERAL ORGANIZATION
11. MISSION
a. The mission of the field artillery (FA) is to destroy, neutralize, or
suppress the enemy by cannon, rocket, and missile fires and to
help integrate all fire support assets into combined arms operations.
Note: For tactics, techniques, and procedures for the M109A6
(Paladin), see FM 65060. x

11/27/2018 FM 6-50 Chptr 1 Mission, Organization, and Key Personnel
The field artillery is organized into light, medium, and heavy artillery
on the basis of weapon caliber.
a. Each light artillery (105mm M102, M101A1, or M119A1) battery
has a headquarters section and six howitzer sections.
Note: The M109A5 howitzer battery organic to the regimental
armored cavalry squadron is designed to function
independently and to perform most of its own support
functions. It is organized, trained, and equipped to operate in
direct support of the squadron.
As two platoons under the control of the battery commander (BC).
As a single unit, with the platoons merged.
As two separate platoons directly controlled by the battalion S3,
through the BC, with the battery commander providing
reconnaissance, selection, and occupation of position (RSOP) and
logistical support.
This last employment option is the least desirable. It is used only
when the tactical situation permits no other means of command and
control.
Note: All battalions in the US Marine Corps are organized into three
sixhowitzer batteries.
13. COMMAND AND CONTROL OF BATTERIES
a. The FA cannon battalion issues movement instructions and other
orders to the battery, regardless of whether the battery is battery or
https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/6-50/Ch1.htm 2/16
11/27/2018 FM 6-50 Chptr 1 Mission, Organization, and Key Personnel
platoonbased. Orders are issued to the battery commander or his
operations center. These orders specify the artillery requirements
of the fire support coordinator (FSCOORD) rather than trying to
specify how the commander is to accomplish the mission. The BC
selects platoon positions within the larger battery area selected by the
S3. The battery commander will also determine which platoon is
better able to move at any given time. The functions of the FA
battalion tactical operations center (TOC) are to position and control
the fires of the batteries. The BC positions and controls the fires of
his platoons. The battalion TOC should be involved with directly
controlling platoons only when no other option is available.
b. In a batterybased (3x6) unit, command and control of the firing
battery is facilitated through the battery commander and the battery
operations center (BOC). The battery fire direction center (FDC)
controls the firing of the battery and is required to maintain the current
tactical situation and respond to the supported unit and higher
headquarters. The BOC serves as a focal point for internal battery
operations to include command and control, battery defense,
coordinating logistics, and all other operational functions normally
performed by a headquarters. It also serves as the alternate FDC by
providing backup fire direction capability with the lightweight computer
unit (LCU) or manual gunnery techniques.
c. In a platoonbased (3 x 6 or 3 x 8) battery, the requirement for
functional command and control exists at both platoon and battery
levels. In the platoon, this requirement is met by the platoon
operations center (POC). The POC is nothing more than the FDC with
added operational responsibilities. The POC is not a separate
element and does not require a separate vehicle. Its functions are
supervised by the fire direction officer (FDO). Two of the functions of
the POC are technical and tactical fire direction, the traditional
functions of the FDC. Additional functions of the POC are reporting, accepting and executing orders from higher
headquarters, coordinating logistics, and all the other operational functions normally performed by a headquarters.
d. The BC of the platoonbased battery must also provide for a single point for command and control of the battery.
Because the battery does not have the personnel or equipment to establish a separate BOC, the BC does this by
designating an element within the firing battery, normally one of the POCs, to perform the battery operations fiction. In
addition to its functions described above, the designated POC handles all tactical and logistical information and
personnel and maintenance reports for the battery as a whole. One of the POCs should be designated as the casualty
collection point for the battery and the medic is located with this POC. This POC may require augmentation to
perform this function. The battery NBC noncommissioned officer (NCO) can provide this augmentation. By augmenting
the POC in this manner, the NBC NCO also enhances his ability to perform his own monitoring and reporting functions.
Note: This manual will refer to the designated POC as a BOC to indicate that it is performing the BOC functions of a battery
based unit.

11/27/2018 FM 6-50 Chptr 1 Mission, Organization, and Key Personnel
e. In a platoonbased firing battery, the location of the BOC and the battery trains must facilitate command, control and
logistical support of the battery. There are three basic options for positioning the battery elements. The options can be
termed heavyheavy, heavylight, and lightlight.
(1) HeavyHeavy. This option divides the support elements in half and assigns them to each platoon. These
elements should be dispersed in positions to the rear of the platoon position area to enhance survivability. Yet,
they should be near the POC to facilitate coordination within the platoon.
(a) The advantages of this option are:
Local security of both platoons is enhanced.
Responsiveness of support elements to platoon is enhanced.
(b) The disadvantages are:
More elements give a larger visual signature.
Tracked and wheeled vehicles and thick and thinskinned vehicles are combined.
(2) HeavyLight. This option positions all of the support elements in one platoon position area. These
elements should locate near the FDC on the extremity of the position area.
(a) The advantages of this option are:
Local security of one platoon is enhanced.
Support is responsive to one platoon.
(b) The disadvantages are:
One platoon has a larger visual signature.
Maneuverability may be limited in one platoon area.
Logistic support to the light platoon is decreased.
(3) LightLight. This option positions all of the battery support elements in a separate location away from
both platoon areas.
(a) The advantages of this option are:
Each battery element has the smallest visual signature.
Howitzer positioning and movement flexibility are maximized.

11/27/2018 FM 6-50 Chptr 1 Mission, Organization, and Key Personnel
(b) The disadvantages are:
Local security of platoons and battery elements is reduced.
Combat service support (CSS) responsiveness is reduced.
Section II
CANNON BATTERIES IN PLATOONBASED FIELD
ARTILLERY BATTALIONS
14. ORGANIZATION
a. An FA battalion with FA batteries organized into two firing platoons for platoon operations is considered a
platoonbased organization.
b. Each cannon battery in a platoonbased FA battalion consists of a battery headquarters and two firing platoons
(Figure 11). This configuration allows for conduct of platoon operations.
(1) The battery headquarters has the personnel and equipment to perform administration, supply,
communications, NBC, and maintenance functions.
Note: Supply and NBC operations at the battery level are functions performed by personnel of the battery
headquarters. There are not sections organized specifically for those functions.
https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/6-50/Ch1.htm 5/16
11/27/2018 FM 6-50 Chptr 1 Mission, Organization, and Key Personnel
(2) Each firing platoon has the personnel and equipment to determine firing data, to fire the howitzers, and
to resupply ammunition. (In some units, ammunition assets may consolidated at battalion.)
15. TACTICAL DUTIES OF KEY PERSONNEL
Paragraphs 16 through 112 present the suggested duties of key personnel in a cannon battery of a platoon
