Q

How do you find the mounting azimuth

A

Round azimuth to nearest 50mil

30
Q

How do you make adjustments in direct lay

A

Refer sight to bisect splash then traverse back to target and re-bubble up

31
Q

60mm baseplates

A

M7A1-circular, conventional
M8-box
M8A1- newer circular, hand held capable

32
Q

What must you do if the base plate is not settled for direct lay

A

Level the bubbles and prepare to fire, remove the sight, fire two rounds, and put the sight back on and re-level bubbles

34
Q

Number of intervals

A

1 less interval than round

35
Q

Should you always use the lowest charge possible for range

A

Yes, unless you are close to the limit in order to avoid large deflections

36
Q

120 tripod designation

37
Q

120/81/60mm mortar sight

38
Q

Gun settings for max range

A

800 mil max charge

38
Q

60mm cannon designation

Q 
81 M177A1 bipod settings
Elevation

Traverse
1 turn
A

Elevation- 800-1511
1 turn- 10mil
Traverse- 100mils from center
1 turn- 7 mil

40
Q

Deflections rules
Azimuth
Mil adjustment

A

A-RALS(right add, left subtract)

M-LARS

41
Q

80mm bipod designation

42
Q

81mm ROF

A

Max-30rnds per min, 2 min

Sus.-15rpm, indefinitely

43
Q

60 rate of fire

A

Max-30RPM for 4 min

Sus- 20RPM indefinitely

44
Q

What are two reasons an entire platoon can displace

A

Little likelihood of enemy contact

Another element can provide adequate support

45
Q

M2 compass characteristics
Angle of sight scale
Azimuth scale

A

Angle=1200-0-1200
Azimuth=0-6400
20mil increments
Numbered every 200

45
Q

M8 baseplate traverse capability

46
Q

81 range

A

Min-83m

Max-5,608

48
Q

If FO is more than 100 m away, what ratio must he use for mil corrections

49
Q

120mm cannon designation

50
Q

Advantages for engagements with out FDC

A

Speed and less people/equipment required

51
Q

81mm baseplate designation

51
Q

At what distance should the aiming stakes be emplaced

A

100 and 50m

Or as far away as makes sense and half the distance

52
Q

Rule of thumb for range estimates

A 
0-2000m = 200m error
2000+m = 600-800m error
53
Q

Main difference between hasty/deliberate and emergency

A

Emergency isn’t planned. Usually happens while in route to planned position. Considered a “hip shot”

53
Q

A

Prox=13-3ft
Near surface= 3-0ft
Impact
Delay-1/2sec

55
Q

How are the mils graded on a whiz wheel

A

Numbered every 100, increment every 10

56
Q

120 baseplate designation

57
Q

What must you do on the compass after finding the declination angle

A

Index it onto the compass

58
Q

Which aiming stake is in the middle

A

Far pole in the middle

59
Q

How are deviation corrections sent from FO

60
Q

60 mm elevation settings
Upper saddle
Lower saddle

A

Upper=800-100
1 turn = 10mil
Lower=1101-1511mils
1full turn= 15mil

61

A

Deliberate
Hasty
Emergency

61
Q

81mm mortar cannon designation

61
Q

How do you find declination angle

A

Clockwise rotation from grid north to magnetic north

62
Q

Main difference between hasty and deliberate

A

Amount of Time for advanced party to prepare. Both are planned

64
Q

Determine # of rounds

A

60/81- 1rnd per 30m or 4rnd per 100m

120- 1 rnd per 60m or 2rnds per 100m

64
Q

What’s the initial deflection for direct lay?
