Q

3 primary methods for target location:

A
  • Grid coordinates. Describes target using MGRS on military maps
  • Polar. From the observers known position, using Direction, distance and vertical shift to the target
  • Shift from point. Target location relative a known point

Q

What provide close and immediate indirect fire support for the maneuver battalions and companies.

A

Mortars

21
Q

Regarding fuses what are the 3 types of point denotation

A

Quick
Delay
Concrete piercing

22
Q

Regarding fuses, what is mechanical time?

A

Causes the round to function at set time after the round has been fired

23
Q

Regarding fuses

A

Time set prior to firing is when the fuse will start “looking” for the ground. Radio signal reflects off target. When it determines that it is in close proximity to the ground it causes the projectile to function

24
Q

Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) has what kind of fuse?

A

GPS aided fuse

25
Q

things to consider when selecting fire for your target:

A
  • Nature of target
  • Target environment
  • Desired effect
  • Laws of War Considerations.
26
Q

2 types of Fire Support Coordination Measures

A

permissive

restrictive

27
Q

How can you eliminate a target outside your boundary:

A

You can only attack a target across boundaries with direct fire weapons

28
Q

CFL is short for:

A

CFL fire line

29
Q

CFL is defined as:

A

A line beyond which surface delivered, (mortar, NGF, FA) conventional indirect fires may be fired, within the zone/sector of establishing headquarters, without any additional coordination

30
Q

FSCL is short for:

A

Fire Support Coordination Line

31
Q

FSCL is defined as:

A

A line beyond which all fire support means may attack targets without additional coordination with the establishing headquarters

32
Q

FFA is short for:

A

Fire Free Area

33
Q

FFA is defined as:

A

An area into which any weapon system may fire without additional coordination with the establishing headquarters

34
Q

What is a kill box:

A

Three-dimensional area used to facilitate the integration of joint fires.

35
Q

How many types of Kill boxes are there?

A

2 - Blue and purple

36
Q

What is going on in a blue kill box?

A

Air attacks the enemy on the ground

37
Q

What is going on in a Purple kill box?

A

Both air and ground attacks enemy on the ground at the same time

38
Q

RFL is short for:

A

Restrictive Fire Line

39
Q

What is a Restrictive Fire Line?

A

A line established between converging friendly forces (one or both may be moving) that prohibits fires, or their effects, across the line without coordination with the affected force

40
Q

RFA is short for:

A

Restrictive Fire Area

41
Q

What is a Restrictive Fire Area

A

An area with specific restrictions in which fires that exceed those restrictions will not be delivered without coordination with the establishing headquarters

42
Q

NFA is short for

A

No fire area

43
Q

What is a NFA?

A

An NFA is an area in which no fires, or their effects, are allowed into including small arms fire

44
Q

What are the 2 exceptions to the NFA:

A
  • When approved establishing headquarters on a case-by-case basis
  • When an enemy force within the NFA engages a friendly force and the commander determines:
    1. Enemy presents a major threat
    2. Not enough time to obtain clearance
45
Q

ACA is short for:

A

Airspace Coordination Areas

46
Q

What I an ACA?

A

Airspace Coordination Area (ACA). Establishes a three-dimensional block of airspace in the battle area in which friendly aircraft are reasonably safe from friendly surface fires

47
Q

What are the two types of ACAs?

A

Formal

Informal

48
Q

What maneuver control method can act as both a permissive and restrictive FSCM?
