The Call for Fire course wrapped up today, Thursday, at the Joint Fires Training Center under the command of the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan Rapid Intervention Brigade. The course witnessed the participation of several female officers and enlisted personnel from the Armed Forces and was attended by the Brigade Commander.

The Brigade Commander stated that the course was conducted with the aim of enhancing the high level of operational readiness among brigade personnel, enabling them to accomplish assigned missions with proficiency and effectiveness. He praised the efforts of the training cadre and affirmed that this cohort would be a qualitative addition in this critical domain.

The three-week course covered a range of essential topics, including the Military Grid Reference System, fire request and adjustment procedures, various types of artillery systems and munitions, observer duties, adjustment and fire-for-effect missions, and suppression of enemy air defenses.

The training aimed to equip participants with the skills necessary to coordinate and request indirect fire support—both artillery and mortar—according to established protocols, including target description, available ammunition types, and issuing fire commands.

At the end, the Brigade Commander distributed certificates to the participants in recognition of their successful completion of the course.
