Q

What is coordinating altitude?

A

An ACM that uses altitude to separate users and transition between different airspace control element

-In MSL

17
Q

What is the coordination level?

A

An ACM below which fixed wing aircraft normally will not fly

Separate RW and FW

-In AGL

18
Q

What is an air corridor?

A

A restricted air route of travel established for the purpose of preventing friendly aircraft from being fired on by friendly forces

19
Q

What is a Restricted Operations Zone?

A

Airspace reserved for specific activities in which the operations of one or more airspace users is restricted

-MSL
-SSM, UA, ROA

20
Q

What are Fire Support Coordination Measures?

A

Employed by commanders to facilitate the rapid engagement of targets and simultaneously provide safeguards for friendly for

21
Q

What types of FSCMs are there?

A

Permissive and restrictive

22
Q

What are permissive FSCM?

A

CFL
FSCL
Battlefield coordination line
Free fire area
Killbox

23
Q

What are restrictive FSCMs?

A

Restrictive fire line
NFA
RFA
ACA

24
Q

What is the coordinated fire line?

A

A line beyond which direct and indirect fire support systems may fire without additional coordination

Still need to clear airspace

Close to FLOT as possible

25
Q

What is the fire support coordination line?

A

Established by the land/amphibious force commander to support common objectives within an AO beyond which all fires must be coordinated with affected commanders prior to engagement

-FSCL applies to all joint fire based systems against surface targets

26
Q

What is the battlefield coordination line?

A

A USMC-specific FSCM that facilitates the expeditious attack of surface targets of opportunity between the measure and the FSCL
-Allow AV MAGTF to attack surface targets witout GFC approval

27
Q

What is a Free Fire Area?

A

A specific area into which any weapon system may fire without additional coordination with the establishing HQ

-Used to expedite joint fires
-Still need to clear airspace

28
Q

What is a kill box?

A

A 3D permissive FSCM with an associated ACM used to facilitate the integration of fires

Established to support interdiction efforts, not CAS

29
Q

What is a blue kill box?

A

Attack of surface targets to air-to-surface munitions

30
Q

What is purple kill box?

A

Attack of surface targets with subsurface to surface, surface to surface and air to surface munitions

31
Q

What is a restrictive fire line?

A

A specific boundary established between converging, friendly surface forces that prohibits fires or their effects from crossing

The purpose is to prevent friendly fire incidents and duplication of engagements by converging friendly force

32
Q

What is the No Fire area?

A

An area designated by the appropriate commander into which fires or their effects are prohibited

-When establishing HQ approves joint fires
-Enemy engages friendlies in that NFA

33
Q

What is an airspace coordination area?

A

A 3D block of airspace in a target area, established by the appropriate commander, in which friendly aircraft are reasonably safe from friendly surface fires

Primary used for CAS

34
Q

Types of airspace coordination areas?

A

Formal
-In ACO, ATO, SPINS

Informal
-lateral, altitude, time separation
-Not on ACO

35
Q

Considerations for developing ACA?

A

Ingress, egress, holding areas
Aircraft characteristics
Surface to air threats
Simultaneous employment of IDF/CAS

36
Q

What do effective ACA do?

A

Allow freedom of action for air and surface fire support for the greatest number of foreseeable targe
