KILL BOX DOCTRINE

• ALSA MTTP Critical/Major Issues
• Uses the term supported commander and
  establishing authority (EA) as agency that
  establishes and cancels KBs.
• Appendix B/C are unclear and confusing
• JFACC identified as EA in lieu of ground
  component cdr.
• Table II-1 (KB responsibilities) gives the
  impression that both the JFC and JFACC are equals
  with both able to establish KBs.

  indirect fires excludes direct fires.
