For the first time ever, the said fire was combined with the support of maneuvering troops (Infantry, Armor) activated in the area of responsibility of the D’ Army Corps, thus simulating actual conditions.
During this period, training was conducted under realistic conditions and the entire procedure for targeting and provision of supporting fires to forward Commands was evaluated. Improved techniques and procedures for target engagements have been implemented.

The high level of professionalism, the morale and the zeal of the personnel of participating troops was confirmed, while the importance of providing supporting fire and coordinating efforts with maneuvering troops was highlighted.
