39
Q

Two types of spotting lines

A

2)Observer Target Line- From observer to target

40
Q

Range spotting

A

Over or short (round to 50 meters)

41

A

17.78

43
Q

44
Q

Mil Relation formula

W=R x mils

A

W- Lateral shit in meters (Nearest 10 meters)

R- Range to target to the nearest 100 meters, expressed in thousands

45
Q

add or drop are in what increments?

A

50

46
Q

Four techniques used to conduct area adjustment fires

A

1) Successive Bracketing- Inexperience, when precise adjustment is required

2) Hasty bracketing- Observer is experienced, when responsive fire are required

3) One-round adjustment- range finder, requires either an experienced observer or an observer equipped with a laser range finder

4)Creeping fire- within danger close 600m

47
Q

RREMS

A

Refinement- If fires have been inaccurate but produce results
Record as target- Announce if the observer wants the target plotted for future use
EM End of mission
