'''Fire Support Squads''' are an organizational organisational unit in a modern post-[[Primaris Space Marine|Primaris]] [[Space Marine]] [[Codex Astartes|Codex-Compliant]] [[Chapter]].{{Fn|1}}
Fire Support Squads provide covering fire to their [[Battleline Squad|Battleline]] and [[Close Support Squad|Close Support]] brethren, whether by assassinating key targets, suppressing the foe, or hunting enemy armour.{{Fn|1}}

==Trivia=={{Trivia}}* [[Hellfury Squad|Hellfury Squads]] are mentioned only once, in the [[Codex Supplement: Ultramarines (8th Edition)|8th Edition Ultramarines Codex]]. At this time, no such unit existed, and no unit with that name exists today. ==={{Endn|Conflicting Sources}}===
[[Infernus Squad]]s are referred to as Close Support Squads in [[Codex: Space Marines (10th Edition)]] (pg. 12), but promotional images show them wearing the [[Fire Support Squad]] icon.{{fn|3}}{{Fn|4}} This could be a typo, as [[Aggressor Squad|Aggressors]], another short-range flamer unit, are also [[Fire Support Squads]].
