Notes:
Title: Command Relationships
Dialogue: MLRS battalions are organic to the corps. There are numerous options for the commander in establishing the command relationship(s). The three options described here are the most common.
Option 1: The corps commander retains direct control of the MLRS battalion.
Option 2: The corps commander attaches the MLRS battalion to a FA brigade.
Option 3: The corps commander allocates all or some of the MLRS units to the division.
This is important to understand because shortly we will discuss two methods of targeting process: centralized and decentralized. Depending on the command relationship may dictate the method of target processing specified.
