LOL no need to worry about that. I heard a story the other day from a serviceman whom was in an engagement. They called for illumination flares but the request was denied due to concearns of the ordinance either starting a fire or landing on someone and injuring them.
They then called for smoke but again rules of engagement prevented the arty from laying down smoke where it was needed (too close to civvys) and the smoke was put some 100 yards off the target and did little but confuse the situation. Seems the offset was ordered at the last second at the guns themselves.
So yea no raining of weapons, they will have to get them just like they always have... but thats another topic.
