Q

Polar explains

A

Target with respect to your location

  • Observer location MUST be known
  • Give grid prior to CFF (WARNO)
  • Observer sends direction/Distance

A

Lateral shift

19
Q

What is Add/drop shift?

A

Range shift

20
Q

What is the quickest method to determine deviation?

A

Hand method

21
Q

What is the adjustment point?

A

Point at which the observer wants the center of the rounds to impact. This is where the rounds will be most effective

22
Q

What are the types of range corrections?

A
  1. Hasty bracketing
  2. Successive bracketing
  3. Creeping fires
  4. One round adjustments
23
Q

How do you establish a bracket? (Rules)

A

Round impact from target Add/Drop

  • more than 400m. + or - 800m
  • 200-400m. + or - 400m
  • 100-200m. + or - 100m
24
Q

When do you use fire for effect?

A

100m bracket is split

25

Q

In a shift from a known point, how is range determined?

A

Nearest 100m

27
Q

Why is target description so important?

A

Allows FDC to identify the number/type of rounds to use
