CFF Guide 2 Flashcards
You identify a vehicle moving toward a road intersection. Since you do not know when they will get to the intersection, your Commander urges you to do an At My Command mission. What element of the CFF is this?
Method of fire and control
What is in the 1st transmition?
Observer ID
Warning Order
What is in the 2nd transmission
Target Location
What is in the 3rd transmission
Target Description
Method of Engagement
Method of Fire and Control
Based on your target description your Commander recommends you request DPICM. What element of the CFF will you make this request?
Method of Engagement
Using Successive Bracketing, the last adjustment you sent the FDC was Drop 200. The next round is a direct target hit. What is your next transmission?
Fire For Effect
FFE
You estimate the Observer Target Distance to be 2600 m. What is the OT factor?
3
Your first round impacts. You measure 30 mils left of target and estimate the round to be about 300 Meters short. You estimate the distance to your target to be 2500 Meters. What is your correction?
Right 60, Add 400
You sent a Grid CFF. The FDC just sent you the MTO. What
additional information do you send the FDC at the end of the
MTO or before the first correction?
Direction
Your elevation is 1050 m, the target elevation is 1150 m. The
direction to the target is 5830 at a distance of 3200 m. For a polar mission, what is the second transmission?
“Direction 5830, Distance 3200, Up 100, Over”
What is the standard Trajectory for Artillery?
Low angle
Your target is about 400 m from your location. You should
announce: ____________
Danger Close in the Method of Engagement.
The estimated range to your target is 2200. You spotted the round 10 mils to the right. What is the deviation correction?
No deviation correction sent
If you are doing a Polar Call for Fire, what information must you send the FDC before you send it?
Observers location
If the Method of Target Location in the first transmission is not given, what is the Method of Target Location?
Grid
You are on an established (the FDC has your location) OP and you initiate a CFF. What will the first transmission consist of?
Observer Identification and Warning Order
When do you send a change in Elevation and to the nearest
what?
If the difference is ≥ 35m, round to the nearest 5m.
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?
Direction 0190, Distance 2300, over.
Why do you send direction to the FDC?
To orient the FDC to the Observer’s view of the target
What element of the CFF do you give the Type of mission?
(i.e. Adjust Fire or Fire for Effect)
Warning Order
In a CFF, what is the standard method of Target Location?
Grid
How do you determine the OT Factor?
3 things
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.
In the Message to Observer, how many elements are there?
(do not count the direction)
Four (4)
What is the minimum number of digits for a grid mission?
Six (6)
How many elements in the CFF?
Six (6)
How many elements in the CFF?
Six (6)
What is Danger Close for Mortars and Artillery?
600 m or less
With respect to range corrections, you are initially attempting to establish a _________ when using Successive Bracketing.
bracket
What do you send the FDC after you completed your mission
and/or destroyed your target?
End of Mission
If the distance to your target is 3200 m, what is your OT Factor?
Three (3)
What is the minimal deviation correction you can send?
30 m
What is the formula to calculate deviation corrections?
(OT Factor) (Spotting) = Deviation Correction
