Military - Suppressive Fire

Military - Suppressive Fire


Military psychology
sub-branch of different psychology disciplines

  • research
  • design
  • application
of psychological theories
  • understanding, predicting, and countering behaviours
  • in friendly or enemy forces (or civilian)
  • which may potentially be undesirable to military ops
provides tools -  survive stresses of war

military confront specific combination

(of otherwise generic) stressors

military psychology studies unique
blend of stresses
applicable to military

psychological trauma

  • flashbacks
  • PTSD
  • sleep disturbance
  • relationship problems
Tactical psychology
contact with enemy / front-line soldier
combines psychology & historical analysis

devise tactics to make enemy:
  • freeze
  • flee
  • panic
 instead of fight 
eg. 'suppressive fire'
suppressive fire
aka covering fire

one of (3) three TYPES of fire support
only effective for duration of fire
fire + is coordinated with manoeuvre of forces 


(destroy, neutralise or suppress)

formerly known as 'neutralisation'

neutralisation
=  now NATO-defined as fire to render target temporarily f*cked


  • ie pinned down, unable to respond due to the intensity of fire
suppressive fire
-- is force which threatens casualties to those exposed
 

-- willingness to expose depends on:
  •     - morale
  •     - motivation
  •     - leadership
-- suppressive fire used as covering fire

Suppressive fire can be used against:
-- protection of troops w/in range of enemy small arms
    (ie covering fire)
-- indirect firers [the following, I think?]:

  •     - mortars
  •     - artillery
  •     - ships
  •     - aircraft
-- enemy air defences
-- other activities: eg construction, logistics
-- for temporary area denial

*unsuitable for prolonged area denial b/c ammo supply constraints

Non-lethal suppression:
-- smoke to blind enemy
-- night:  illumination to deny enemy cover

Suppressive weaponry:
-- any capable of intensity of fire for required period suppression
-- but bullet has less suppressive power than artillery shell
-- bullet has 1 metre w/in trajectory
-- artillery shell covers wider range when exploding
-- small arms fire sustained suppression - limit:  few minutes
-- air delivered suppression likewise limited by payload limits

*ARTILLERY can suppress area for extended period

Purpose:

stop enemy observing, shooting, moving or carrying out military tasks

Features:
-- suppressive fire only effective while it lasts
-- & if it has sufficient intensity
-- enables covered (vulnerable, on the move) forces to advance to new positions etc, while enemy / target is rendered unable to act b/c of the suppressive fire

Entry says:  Marines Tactic 

(but I think this is likely common military tactic)
communication + suppressive fire
enables movement on battlefield

Used to extract troops from battle zone:
1.  helicopter
2.  boat  (hot extraction)

Suppressive fire
-- psychological tactic
-- targets keep heads down
-- (depending on variables) can result in target casualties & damage
-- used in close combat zone as covering fire

Suppressive fire - indirect fire systems:

  •     - mortars
  •     - artillery
  •     - ships
  •     - aircraft
-- important consideration is safety of troops
-- 'fragmenting munitions' indiscriminate & lethal in all directions

Suppressive Fire Tactics
-- first used in the Boer War
-- developed 1915 British WWI
-- unable to smash German trenches or destroy enemy artillery
-- employed artillery suppression fire techniques
-- suppressed enemy artillery to protect attacking infantry
-- allowed infantry to advance
-- thereafter, suppression defining British artillery tactic
-- ammunition used by British:  shrapnel
-- target was enemy artillery

Suppression by infantry direct fire weapons


-- usually only used v. targets without:
  • -- mutual support from adjacent positions
-- ammunition stocks only for several mins. of sustained firing

Suppressive fire:
-- used WWII amphibious assaults (to enable troop landing)

COMMENT

That was good.

It sounds really exciting.

So anyone who knows anything about the military would know that suppressive fire will last only a few minutes usually and that the other side is either advancing troops, pulling troops, or moving troops, and that it is largely a psychological tactic that can be countered (I think  ...  I haven't stumbled on the counter-offensive yet).
