39
Q

As an observer you see a target of approximately 30 personnel advancing towards you. You decide the best way to deal with the target is with high angle fire with five rounds CPROX in fire for effect. The target is 300 m wide with an attitude of 1600, so you will use the linear procedure. The enemy is on a recorded target ZP 1200 with a direction to it of 0420 mils grid. Give your initial sequence of orders as C/S 12 adjusting the target with WP.

Q

At sunrise over BURTON BRIDGE, your are convinced that a registration mission on the farm located at GR 6392 4789, altitude 150’, is in order. Direction is 4740 mils. You are C/S 11 and you decide to use three guns of C/S 1. You also want to set ammunition on time, so you decide to indicate in your initial orders to the guns that they are to prepare six rounds. Give the required initial orders to execute this registration mission.

Q

You have barely finished your registration mission when you spot 30 rebels crawling across BURTON BRIDGE. You estimate that the best way to resolve the situation is to use high angle fire with five rounds of fire for effect of proximity fuzes. The objective is 200 m long by 10 m wide with an attitude of 2500 mils, which forces you to use the linear fire procedure. The point is listed on your defensive fire list as CS 1976. Direction is 0420 mils.

Give your initial orders as if you were C/S 12 to engage this objective with your own battery.  You want to use WP for the adjustment of fire before proceeding with the fire for effect.  You also want the guns to "SPLASH".

43
Q

You successfully adjust the target and observe the six rounds of fire for effect. After three rounds, you notice a desirable target to your left. You order “Check firing, target grid correction, WP and three rounds fire for effect”. You realize the guns are loaded with proximity fuzes.

How could you go about getting the gun cleared?

A

a. Order “Unload”.
b. Fire a first round of fire for effect.
c. Order the battery to fire to clear the guns and three rounds of fire for effect using WP.

44
Q

You are a FOO (11) supporting I19. From your hilltop OP, you spot an enemy platoon position across the valley at grid 1278 7915. From your map, you determine that the altitude of the target is 120 m. They are digging in. You estimate that the platoon position is approximately 1.5 km away and that the position is about 100 m in diameter. The direction to the target is 0135. You decide to engage this target with C/S 1 and figure that it will probably take 10 rounds to accomplish your aim. Send your initial sequence of orders.

Q

Having successfully engaged the platoon position, you look to your right and notice a company of BMPs assembling on the edge of a wood line at GR 113 247, Alt 90 m. They are in a concentrated group of about 150 m in diameter. You surmise that these vehicles will likely be attacking your position soon and you elect to use the whole Regiment (M777s) for this target. The direction to the target is 2440. You decide that DPICM would be the best ammunition for this type of target and you estimate that you will need 8 rounds to do the job. Also, your Company Commander tells you that he would like the rounds to last for at least 5 minutes so that he can position some tanks to deal with the threat. You decide to open at fire for effect to maintain surprise. Send your initial sequence of orders as an ordinary observer.

Q

0 receives your call for fire and since C/S 3 is already engaged, 0 decides to allot only C/S 1 and 2 to your mission. He also decides that since the DPICM has nearly all been expended, he will only allow you to use HE, but you can have 10 Rounds rather than the 8 you requested. Lastly, he decides that the target is worth recording as CS 1300 since further enemy vehicles may show up in this location. Give the message that 0 would send you.

Q

Following this mission, and after hearing 0 order all call signs to adopt the registration point, you spot a convoy of trucks on a road. You think to yourself that finally you are going to get to use that linear procedure that they taught you all those years ago. The centre of the convoy is at GR 135 799, altitude 110 m. You determine from the map that the attitude of the road is 1130 mils and that the convoy is spread out along about 400 m of road. The direction to the target is 6350 mils. Since the target is in a deep canyon and the trucks are soft skinned, you elect to use high angle and PROX. Also, since you have just adjusted the registration point, you elect to open at FFE to maintain surprise. You figure that 5 rounds will do the job. Send your orders (M109 Regt).

Q

It is the middle of the night; you are on watch in your OP and desperately trying to stay awake while you observe your zone. Looking through your NODLR, you spot what appears to be an infantry patrol 2000 m to your front at a direction of 1200, GR 114 323, Alt 110 m. After confirming with both your Coy Comd and the BC that the patrol is hostile, you decide to engage them with C/S 1. Since there is no restriction on white light, and in order to allow the infantry to engage as well, you elect to use the coordinated illumination procedure. You figure that 5 rounds of PROX will be ideal. Send your orders to commence the adjustment.

You have had little success engaging targets using target grid procedure. You decide it’s time to start using the expensive laser that has been provided for your use. You spot a platoon position at direction 1230, distance 2000, A/S -20 mils and decide to engage it and record it as ZP 1200. The position is 40 mils in diameter when you measure it in your laser reticle, and you can observe troops digging in on the position. Also, you suspect that two BMPs are dug in at the rear of the position. You decide to use a mixture of Delay and PROX for the target, and estimate that you will need 10 rounds to achieve your aim. Send your orders.

You are a FOO accompanying a company in an attack. Upon arriving on your objective, your company comes under fire from two BMPs in the open that are 300 m from your position at GR 122 887, alt 110’. The direction to the target is 2230 and your Company Commander has requested artillery to suppress the position for 5 minutes while he brings up a tank to deal with the threat (you decide 10 rounds HE will do the job). Lastly, the BMPs are in a position which you suspect might be a counter attack route and; therefore, you decide that you will record the target as ZP 1130 for future use.

As 11, you are the anchor FOO for 19’s quick fire plan supporting I9 in a battle group attack. In the initial Warning Order you have recorded that the authority to modify the fire plan is vested in G19. You hear the order for the H-Hour to be at 1500 hours local. As the anchor FOO, you realize that you will not be finished adjusting the objective for another 10 minutes. You decide that the H-Hour must be modified to 1515 hours if fire plan FLAT TABLE is to be successful. Send your orders.

After last light, you are observing your zone and notice intermittent light coming from the area of a high hill feature at grid 955 811. You report this to the BC, who later confirms it as a Company Headquarters and orders you to adjust and neutralize it with 10 rounds fire for effect from the battery. As there are no restrictions on white light, you decide to conduct a coordinated illumination using C/S 1. The Company Headquarters has a radius of 50 metres, altitude of 120 feet, and direction is 0200 mils. Give your initial sequence of orders for this mission.

Q

You are a FOO (C/S 21) located well forward. There are no restrictions on you as to how, what or where you can shoot. You are observing your zone and notice three M72s and some dismounted infantry moving in battle formation (500 m radius) in the area of GR 162 381, Altitude 50. You decide that this is a regimental size target and you should engage with half the guns firing PROX and the other half, firing HEPD. In order to achieve surprise you are going to open at Fire for Effect. What is your initial sequence of orders to the command post? You are an authorized observer.

You have successfully engaged the target in question 18 and recorded it as CS 1234. Just as you are resting, your technician notices 10 M72s and three BMPs moving 400m directly North of CS 1234 (radius 1500). Your Coy Comd is very nervous, he wants you to engage the target quickly and accurately. You have been listening to Regimental net and realize the only battery available is C/S 2. You flick to his net and send a fire mission. You think 10 rounds Fire for Effect DPICM with one gun firing WP is appropriate for this target. What is your initial sequence of orders?
