Q

You are on an established (the FDC has your location) OP and you initiate a CFF. What will the first transmission consist of?

A

Observer Identification and Warning Order

17
Q

When do you send a change in Elevation and to the nearest
what?

A

If the difference is ≥ 35m, round to the nearest 5m.

18
Q

Your elevation is 455 m. Your target is at 475 m, a direction of 0190 mils, and distance of 2300 m. The Grid to the target is NV 4565 3945. What is the second transmission for a Polar Mission?

A

Direction 0190, Distance 2300, over.

19
Q

Why do you send direction to the FDC?

A

To orient the FDC to the Observer’s view of the target

20
Q

What element of the CFF do you give the Type of mission?

(i.e. Adjust Fire or Fire for Effect)

A

Warning Order

21
Q

In a CFF, what is the standard method of Target Location?

A

Grid

22
Q

How do you determine the OT Factor?

3 things

A

1) You divide the observer target distance by 1000, expressed to the nearest whole number

2) If it ends in .5, the OT factor is expressed to
the nearest whole even number

3) If less than 1000, keep as a decimal.
