TMA02 AND TMA03 ASSIGNMENT PAPER
GUIDE WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
●● _______________are those actions that provide electronic,
mechanical, voice or visual communications that provide approaching
aircraft and/or weapons additional information regarding a specific
target location
Answer: Terminal Guidance Operations (TGO)
●● A certified and qualified Service member, who requests, controls and
adjusts surface-to-surface fires, provides targeting information in
support of CAS, and performs terminal guidance operations
Answer: JFO
●● The ___________ allocates and tasks air capabilities / forces made
available based on the JFC's air apportionment decision
Answer: JFACC.
●● A ______ is one flight by one aircraft
Answer: Sortie
●● During a __________________ control, the JTAC requires control of
individual attacks but is unable to visually acquire the attacking aircraft
at weapons release and/or is unable to visually acquire the target
,Answer: Type 2
●● During a ________________ control, the JTAC/FAC (A) must
visually acquire the attacking aircraft and the target for each attack
Answer: Type 1
●● This control is used when the JTAC requires the ability to provide
clearance for multiple attacks within a single engagement, subject to
specific attack restrictions
Answer: Type 3
●● A ___________ is used when the JTAC/FAC (A) determines that the
desired effects can be created against that target with CAS aircraft and
ordnance employing on a specified set of coordinates. The JTAC/FAC
(A) does not need to delay the CAS attack in order to build CAS aircraft
visual awareness to achieve target TALLY/CAPTURE
Answer: Bomb on Coordinates (BOC)
●● Self-derived targeting via FLIR, advanced targeting pod, radar, or
visually, assumes that the JTAC/FAC (A) s intended target or aim-point
is CAPTURED/TALLY/ CONTACT by the aircrew. This refers to which
Method of Attack?
Answer: Bomb on Target (BOT)
,●● _______ altitude tactics are flown above approximately 8,000 ft.
AGL
Answer: MEDIUM / HIGH
●● ______ altitude bombing can be described as "bombing with the
height of release over 15,000 ft. AGL."
Answer: HIGH
●● Advantages of medium-/high altitude tactics include
Answer: Lower fuel consumption and increased time on station AND
Improved LGB self-lasing options and targeting pod capture capability
●● For ROTARY WING aircraft: High operating altitudes are
Answer: Above 3,000 ft. AGL
●● For ROTARY WING aircraft: MEDIUM operating altitudes are
Answer: 500 TO 3,000 ft. AGL
●● RW CAS attack tactics include
Answer: Hovering fire, running fire, and diving fire.
●● When adjusting fire during an AC-130 control, adjust from
______________
, Answer: Impact by giving cardinal direction (North, South, East, West)
and range (meters) from impact to the desired target.
●● In the AC-130 CFF, the transmission of the fire mission is clearance
for the aircraft to fire, unless DANGER CLOSE. T/F
Answer: TRUE
●● What Coordinated Attack type has the same avenue of attack?
Answer: Combined
●● What Coordinated Attack type has acknowledged sector?
Answer: Sectored
●● What Coordinated Attack type will have simultaneous time on
target/time to target?
Answer: Simultaneous
●● What Coordinated Attack type will be separated by time or visual
cues?
Answer: Sequential
●● The _____________________ provides C2 of Air Force air and
space operations and coordinates with other components and Services. It
allocates resources and tasks forces through ATOs
