Where is the BCL located relative to the FSCL and the CFL?
A coordination measure that expedites surface-to-surface AND air-to-surface attacks beneath the FSCL but beyond the CFL without coordination with the ground commander in whose area the targets are located (across boundaries). This FSCM is used EXCLUSIVELY BY MAGTF FIRE SUPPORT ASSETS when the FSCL is established well beyond max range of organic USMC IDF assets, creating a dead space or haven for EN forces between the max range of organic USMC IDF assts and the FSCL, beyond which aviation assets are operating
