A restrictive fire area (RFA) is an area with specific restrictions in which fires that exceed those restrictions will not be delivered without coordination with the establishing HQ. A battalion or higher HQ establishes it. Occasionally, it may be established by a company operating independently [Globalsecurity.org].
