JFC FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
Who conducts tactical risk assessment? - ANSW-Ground Force Commander
Drives the type of control used
Compare and contrast the five categories of artillery systems and their characteristics**** - ANSW-
Command and reconnaissance- locate target, guide munitions and BDA
Cannon- includes guns and howitzers
Self propelled cannon- continuous support of mechanized forces
Multiple Rocket Launcher- deliver heavy fire power at decisive moments
Mortar- short range high angle fire support at echelons as low as company
(Artillery is a weapons system typical of a large caliber weapon system)
Differentiate between ADA, radar SAM, and IR SAMs*** modify threat weapons systems - ANSW-■ ADA-
self-propelled and towed units
*Towed requires prime mover and ammunition supply vehicles
*self propelled
SAM- strategic or tactical (moveable)
* Strategic: ADA used to protect Key areas and of a country's infrastructure and areas of strategic
importance
*Tactical SAM: are point defense units and used to protect ground force units from fixed wing a/c and
armed helicopters.
,* anti helicopter mines track, aim and fire at helicopters
■ Radar Guided SAM: track target and guide missile intercept
■ IR Guided SAM: Fire and forget system
*SA-13, 18, 9
Compare and contrast RW, FW and UAV - ANSW-RW systems: are classified as light, attack, multi-tole,
transport, reconnaissance A/C and can be used for a variety of roles.
* ex: Mi-28, Ka-50 (Hokum), Mi17 (Hip), Mi24 (HIND)
FW systems: are classified as fighter/interceptor, strike, ground attack, multi-role, bombers, special
mission and transport
* SU-34 (Fullback), SU-25 (Frogfoot), SU-24 (Fancer)
UAV systems: Operate in one or two modes: Drone and Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV)
* ex: Harpy (dive bomber and EW), Tu-143 (has to crash IOT get footage), Scmal-1 (similar to shadow)
Define the major mission command activities of the ops process (check)*** - ANSW-(P2EA)
Plan- The art and science of understanding a situation and envisioning a desired future
Prepare- Activities performed by units and Soldiers to improve the execution of an operatiom
Execute- Putting the plan into action
Assess- Continuous determination of the progress toward accomplishing a task, effect or objective
(commanders drive it, assisted with the ADM for visualization (U,V,D,L,D,A)
, Describe the purpose of Warning Orders, Operations Orders and Fragmentary Orders*** - ANSW-
WARNORD-preliminary notice of actions or order that are to follow
OPORD-used to direct unit ops in support of the mission; provides the who, what, where, when a d why
FRAGORD- provide timely changes of existing orders
Describe the responsibilities of key members of the Battalion and Brigade staff *** - ANSW-XO (COS):
CMD principle assistant
S3-OPS: Synchronizes MNVR and support operations; coordinating staff officer
S2-Intel: Responsible for information collected
FSO- (special staff (SS)): Plans, coordinates and executes all fires; responsible for FC
ALO (SS)-advise commander on aerospace assets, manages TACP
BAE- (SS): airspace integrator - airspace control function
ADAM (SS): coordinates Airspace control for air and missle defense operations
Explain the 7 steps of Military decision making process (need to explain)*** - ANSW-Receipt of Mission:
Alert staff, gather tools, update running estimates, conduct initial assessment, issue WARNORD 1
Mission Analysis: Initial IPB, review available assets and ID available shortfalls, ID critical facts and
assumptions, begin risk management, issue WARNORD 2
COA Development: Friendly hat; is it (feasible, suitable, distinguishable , acceptable AMD complete)
COA Analysis (Wargame): ID's what CIA accomplishes the mission and requires objectivity
* Types: Avenue in depth, box method, belt method
