FSO Test Exam Review
Fires support - ANS-✔✔___________ is fires that directly support land, maritime, amphibious, and
special ops to engage enemy forces, combat formations, and facilitate in pursuit of tactile and operation
objectives. It requires close coordination and interrogation with maneuver forces. Effective fire support
requires an observer that understands the tasks to accomplish and how these tasks support the overall
operation. The observer must be able to accurately locate targets, understand which target to attack,
and effectively communicate what he sees to the rest of the fire support community
Fires cell - ANS-✔✔the __________ and its elements integrate the fires war fighting function in
operations. it has resources to plan for future operations from the main command post and to support
current operations from the tactile command post. additionally, it has the limited capability to provide
coverage to the command group and the deputy command group. the ______ is the centerpiece of the
targeting architecture, focused on both lethal and nonlethal target sets. the _____ thus collaboratively
plans, coordinates and synchronizes fire support to include joint fires.
target of opportunity - ANS-✔✔a target IDed too late, or not selected for action in time, to be included
in deliberate targeting that, when detected or located, meets criteria specific to achieving objectives and
is processed using dynamic targeting.
planned target - ANS-✔✔a _________ is a target that is known to exist in the operational environment,
upon which actions are planned using deliberate targeting, creating effects which support commanders
objectives
scheduled target - ANS-✔✔a ________ is a planned target upon which fires or other actions are
scheduled for prosecution at a specific time.
on call target - ANS-✔✔a _____ target is a planned target upon which fires or other actions are
determined using deliberate targeting and triggered, when detected or located, using dynamic
targeting.
priority target - ANS-✔✔a _______ is a target on which the delivery of fires takes precedence over all
the fires for the designated firing unit or element
, FPF - ANS-✔✔________ is an immediately available prearranged barrier of fire designed to impede
enemy movement across defensive lines or areas.
group of targets - ANS-✔✔A ______ consists of two or more targets on which fire is desired
simultaneously
series of targets - ANS-✔✔A_______ is a number of targets and or groups of targets planned to be fired
in predetermined sequence to support a maneuver operation.
program of targets - ANS-✔✔a________ consists of a number of planned targets of similar nature that
are planned for sequential attack
fire support planning - ANS-✔✔_________ is accomplished using targeting and the running estimate. it
includes developing integrated fire plans, and determining forward observer control options that
support the commanders scheme of maneuver
Fire
Allocation
Positioning
Attack Guidance
Restrictions
Coordinating Instructions
Assessment - ANS-✔✔FAPARCA
communication - ANS-✔✔Occupying and observation post using SLOCTOP; what is the number one
priority for the team?
