Which is an example of the Fires warfighting function?

• A. Movement and Maneuver
• B. Fires
• C. Intelligence
• D. Sustainment

Answer: (B)

Fires is about delivering firepower to shape the battlefield and achieve specific effects on targets. It involves planning, coordinating, and executing fires from artillery, rockets, missiles, aircraft, and other munitions based on target data and surveillance. This directly exemplifies the Fires warfighting function. Movement and Maneuver covers positioning and maneuvering forces, Intelligence focuses on information gathering and analysis, and Sustainment handles logistics and supply—these are different functions, not the one described by applying weapon effects.
