What is the primary focus of the DIDEA process?

The primary focus of the DIDEA process is to engage enemy targets using direct fire. This process is specifically designed to enhance the effectiveness of direct fire engagements, where soldiers or units aim and fire directly at their targets. The DIDEA framework emphasizes planning, targeting, and executing direct fire operations efficiently, allowing for rapid and precise engagement of threats on the battlefield.

In direct fire scenarios, units often rely on personal weapons systems or mounted artillery that provide immediate response capabilities against enemy forces. This contrasts with indirect fire, air support, or artillery, which may involve indirect engagement methods that are not the central tenet of DIDEA. The process encourages a tactical approach that harmonizes situational awareness, target acquisition, and the execution of fire in a direct manner.
