43
Two methods used to fire the mortar without an FDC.
Direct lay and direct alignment
44
Firing on a wide target
Traversing fire
45
Firing on deep targets
Searching fire
46
Direct lay method
Gunnar sees the target through the mortar site
47
Direct alignment method
Fo observes the Target near the mortar or the gun target line he observes the fall of rounds mkes Corrections relative to the gun target line and gives gun commands directly to the mortar Squad.
48
Orders are implace by
Platoon, section and by Squad.
49
Methods of reconnaissance
Map reconnaissance, air reconnaissance and ground reconnaissance
50
Mission accomplishment
The most important factor
51
Position selection
``` Mission accomplishment tactical situation range Target area coverage survivability overhead and mass clearance surface conditions Communications routes. ```
52
Range considerations
One half to two-thirds of their range
53
Types of occupation
Deliberate, hasty and emergency. Deliberate and haste are plan the difference is time. Emergency a call for fire is received while the platoons make and tactical movement
54
Displacement techniques
Displacement by platoon by section by squads or section
55
Types of bounding
Successive bounding and Alternate bounding Successive they match up with each other then bound alternate one leaps in front of the other.
56
Mortar formations
``` Parallel lazy w diamond triangle 6 mortar star formation ```
