Corporals Course Tactical planning FINAL EXAM PREP 2025/2026 ACCURATE QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS || 100% GUARANTEED PASS &lt;RECENT VERSION&gt; 1. Map - ANSWER Graphic representation of a portion of the earths surface drawn to scale. Uses colors, symbols, and labels to represent features on the ground 2. Deliberate offset - ANSWER a planned magnetic deviation to the right or left of an azimuth to an objective. Use it when the objective is located along or in the vicinity of a linear feature such as a road, or a stream. -Because of errors in the compass or in map reading, the linear feature may be reached without knowing whether the objective lies to the right or left. -A deliberate offset informs the navigator of the direction to travel upon reaching the linear feature. 3. A line checkpoint is a - ANSWER natural or manmade linear feature that crosses your line of march. The advantages of line checkpoints are: -They are usually easy to identify upon arrival. -Because they stretch across your route, you are certain to hit it, even if you stray. The disadvantages of line checkpoints are: -You may not know your exact location on that feature unless you perform a resection or inspection. -They can be confused with features that are similar to them. 4. Point checkpoints are - ANSWER specific objects or terrain features that, if located and properly identified, positively indicate your exact location. The advantage of a point checkpoint is that it indicates precisely where you are, allowing you to correct any mistakes in both distance and direction. The disadvantages of point checkpoints are: -Because point checkpoints cover just a small area on the ground, you may miss them. -There may be many terrain features in the area that look like the feature you select as a checkpoint. 5. Combination checkpoints - ANSWER The ideal type of checkpoint is one that is either a combination of two line checkpoints or a line checkpoint and a point checkpoint. The advantages of combination checkpoints are: -Since the linear feature stretches across your route, you cannot miss it. Once at the linear feature, you need only follow it until you come to the point feature. You are then at your checkpoint. -Since you can accurately determine an exact point on the ground from this type of checkpoint, it offers you information about distance and direction. 6. Effects of Metal and Electricity - ANSWER Metal objects and electrical sources can affect the performance of a compass. However, nonmagnetic metals and alloys do not affect compass readings. The separation distances are: High-tension power lines 55 meters Field gun, truck, or tank 18 meters Telegraph or telephone wires and barbed wire 10 meters Machine gun 2 meters Rifle 1/2 meters 7. Basic components of radio equipment - ANSWER The radio equipment for communication between two stations and the path the signal follows through the air is called a radio link. A radio link consists of seven components: the transmitter, power supply, transmission lines, transmitting antenna, propagation path, receiving antenna, and receiver. The transmitter generates a radio signal. The power supply (i.e., battery or generator) supplies power for the operating voltage of the radio. When transmitting, the radio operator aims to provide the strongest possible signal at the site of the receiving station. The best possible signal is the signal that provides the greatest signal-to-noise ratio at the receiving antenna. To transmit the best possible signal, select or determine the: -Optimum frequency -Best antenna for that frequency based on the available space of the transmitting site -Proper propagation path 8. Types of radio modes - ANSWER Simplex Half duplex Full duplex 9. Simplex - ANSWER Single-frequency radio; transmissions can occur in either direction but not simultaneously in both; when one party transmits, the other can only receive, and the party that is transmitting is unable to receive. 10. Half-duplex transmission - ANSWER A type of data transmission in which data can travel in either direction but only in one direction at a time. 11. Full Duplex - ANSWER Communication that happens in two directions at the same time. 12. Tactical radio - ANSWER the principal means of communications support for MAGTF maneuver units. Principle characteristics of tactical radios: -Easy to operate -Networks are easily established -Rapidly reconfigured -Easily maintained on the move -Secure voice communications -Limited data information exchange 13. Types of tactical single channel frequency bands - ANSWER High frequency long distance Very high frequency short distance Ultra high frequency short distance 14. high frequency depends on - ANSWER Equipment siting Proper grounding Types of antennae Tactical employment Path assessment and analysis Frequency planning and assignment 15. Very High Frequency (VHF) - ANSWER Radio frequencies between 30 and 300 MHz; the VHF spectrum is further divided into "high" and "low" bands. 16. Ultra High Frequency (UHF) - ANSWER channels with signals that have a frequency between 470 and 806 megahertz 17. radio interference - ANSWER interference that matches the frequency of a carrier wave 18. Frequency interference - ANSWER Poor condition Improper use Use of unauth Freqs Frequency use

1. Map - ANSWER ✓ Graphic representation of a portion of the
earths surface drawn to scale. Uses colors, symbols, and labels to

the right or left of an azimuth to an objective. Use it when the
objective is located along or in the vicinity of a linear feature such
as a road, or a stream.

-Because of errors in the compass or in map reading, the linear
feature may be reached without knowing whether the objective lies to
the right or left.

-A deliberate offset informs the navigator of the direction to travel
upon reaching the linear feature.

3. A line checkpoint is a - ANSWER ✓ natural or manmade linear
feature that crosses your line of march.

The advantages of line checkpoints are:

-They are usually easy to identify upon arrival.

-Because they stretch across your route, you are certain to hit it, even

5. Combination checkpoints - ANSWER ✓ The ideal type of
checkpoint is one that is either a combination of two line
checkpoints or a line checkpoint and a point checkpoint.

The advantages of combination checkpoints are:

-Since the linear feature stretches across your route, you cannot
miss it. Once at the linear feature, you need only follow it until you
