140. Brevity: Once the aircrew sees the IR energy and is able to discern between the
friendly and target end of the pointer, a ____________________ call may be made. -
Answer: d. Contact sparkle
95. What is the initial height of burst for 120mm Illumination? - Answer: b. 500
84. What form would an observer use to keep track of the rounds and spottings in
relation to the registration point? - Answer: a. DA 5429-R
1. ________________ is fires that directly support land, maritime, amphibious, and
special operations forces to engage enemy forces, combat formations, and facilities in
pursuit of tactical and operational objectives (Joint Publication [JP] 3-09.3). It requires
close coordination and integration 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 targets to attack, and effectively communicate what he sees to the rest of the fire
support community. - Answer: Fire Support
There are five requirements for achieving accurate first-round fire for effect. These five
requirements for accurate predicted fires are: accurate target location and size, firing
unit location, weapon and ammunition information, meteorological information, and
computational procedures. The observer is solely responsible for the first requirement -
Answer: true
3. The _____________ and its elements integrate the fires warfighting function in
operations. It has resources to plan for future operations from the main command post
and to support current operations from the tactical command post (when deployed).
Additionally it has the limited capability to provide coverage to the command group and
the deputy command group when deployed. 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. - Answer: Fires Cell

,4. The ________________ has the responsibility to integrate fire support with the
scheme of maneuver. He provides the commander's intent for an operation and issues
guidance, including guidance for fire support. The ________ translates the guidance
into fire support tasks. Each fire support task and purpose directly supports a maneuver
task and purpose. Then assigns responsibility of tasks in the Fire Support Plan, assets,
and priority of fires, to the observers using all available assets. Ensures dissemination
of FS products to all supporting assets. - Answer: Manuever CDR / FSO
5. A target identified 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. - Answer: Target of Opportunity
6. 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 commander's objectives - Answer: Planned Target
7. A _____________ is a planned target upon which fires or other actions are scheduled
for prosecution at a specified time. - Answer: Scheduled TGT
8. 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. - Answer: On call TGT
9. A _______________ is a target on which the delivery of fires takes precedence over
all the fires for the designated firing unit or element. - Answer: Priority TGT
10. ________________ is an immediately available prearranged barrier of fire designed
to impede enemy movement across defensive lines or areas. - Answer: FPF
11. A __________________ consists of two or more targets on which fire is desired
simultaneously. - Answer: Group of TGTs

, 12. A ____________________ is a number of targets and/or group(s) of targets planned
to be fired in a predetermined sequence to support a maneuver operation. - Answer:
series of targets
13. A _______________ consists of a number of planned targets of a similar nature that
are planned for sequential attack - Answer: program of TGTs
14. ___________________ is accomplished using targeting and the running estimate. It
includes developing integrated fire plans (target lists, fire support execution/fire support
task matrix, scheme of fires, and overlays) and determining forward observer control
options that support the commander's scheme of maneuver. - Answer: FS planning
15. _______________________ is the planning and executing of fire so that targets are
adequately covered by a suitable weapon or group of weapons (JP 3-09).The FIST
must maintain situational understanding at all times and monitor voice requests for fire
support within the maneuver element to prevent fratricide as the result of friendly fire
support. The FIST must advise the commander on any fire support coordination
measures (FSCM) in effect. - Answer: Fire Support Coordination
In order to develop an effective fire support plan, the FSO must understand the fires
planning process and address all the essential elements of a fire support plan. To help
ensure all considerations are addressed, the FSO uses the memory aid FA-PARCA,
which means—
F-Fire support tasks, described in terms of a clear task, purpose, and effect A-Allocation
of assets/targets to subordinate units P-Positioning guidance for fire support assets and
observers A-Assault Instructions R-Resources Available C-Coordinating instructions A-
Assessment (measure of performance, measure of effectiveness) - Answer: false
When occupying an observation post using SLOCTOP; A reconnaissance security
sweep should be made 180 degrees forward of the OP. - Answer: false
