 Occurs when the long axis of the beaten zone is at a right angle to the front of the target.  Highly desirable against a column.  Becomes enfilade fire as beaten zone coincides with long axis of target.  Less desirable against a line because most of the beaten zone normally falls below or after the enemy target. a.

b. FRONTAL FIRE COLUMN: YES LINE: NO

 Occurs when long axes of beaten zone and target coincide/nearly coincide.  Can be frontal fire on column or flanking fire on line.  Most desirable class of fire with respect to the target: Makes maximum use of the beaten zone. Leaders and gunners should always try to position guns for enfilade fire. a. ENFILADE FIRE BEST b. FRONTAL FIRE COLUMN: YES LINE: NO c. FLANKING FIRE COLUMN: NO LINE: YES d. OBLIQUE FIRE

a. ENFILADE FIRE BEST
