29
Q

Method of Engagement

Mark

A

To orient self in his zone of observation.
To indicate targets to ground troops, aircraft or fire support.

30
Q

Method of Engagement

Two Types of Trajectory

A

Low Angle: Default without request

High Angle: Terrain prohibits low angle, Remains in effect until cancelled

31
Q

Method of Engagement

Request Ammunition

A

In Effect: Different type of ammunition after adjusting phase

32
Q

Method of Engagement

The observer …

A

… May Control the pattern of bursts in the target area. This pattern of bursts is called a sheaf.

33
Q

Method of Engagement

Sheaf

A

Arty Computer Sheaf - 100 m (default)

Converged Sheaf - Each piece hits same point of ground

Open Sheaf - Each piece impacts centered on target (bursts spaced one effective burst apart)

Special Sheaf - Linear, Rectangular, Circular, Irregular Sheafs

34
Q

At my command (AMC)
Check Fire
Repeat

Cannot observe
Time on Target (TOT)
Time to Target
Coordinated Illumination
Continuous Illumination
Cease Loading
Continuius Fire
Do not load
Duration

36
Q

Corrections of Errors

A

Say Correction, read back whole Item in correct order with corrected position

37
Q

Message to Observer (MTO)

A

The observer will acknowledge the MTO by reading back in entirety.

38
Q

Additional information for Pilots for the MTO

A

Time of flight

39
Q

Target Numbers contain

A

Two letters followed by four numbers

Add, Drop

42
Q

When must direction be sent to FDC

A

First subsequent correction during a grid mission

43
Q

Mils Relation Formula

A

W = R * mils

44
Q

Observer Factor

A

Determine distance from Observer to target to the nearest thousand meters. When the range falls half way between a thousand ( i.e. 1500 meters) round it up or down to the nearest even number.

Than devide by thousand

45
Q

Hand Measurements

A

One Finger = 30 mils

Four fingers = 125 mils
Fist = 180 mils
Spread hand = 300 mils

46
Q

Corrections

A

Left, right = 10 meter steps, not less than 30 meters
Add, Drop = 100 meter Steps

47

The fire support team consist of three groups, which are

A

Observers
Fire Direction
Howitzer/ Launcher

48
Q

What is the primary duty of the observer?

A

Accurate Target Location

49
Q

Which member of the fire support team determines firing data?
