The Basic School (TBS) Phase 2 Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What type of mission is defined as "Call for Fire"?

Adjust Fire

The term "Call for Fire" specifically refers to the process of initiating indirect fire support, which involves requesting artillery or mortar fire to engage a target. The "Adjust Fire" mission is a critical component of this process, where the forward observer or the calling unit provides corrections to refine the fire's accuracy on the target. This mission allows for real-time adjustments based on the observer’s assessments, ensuring that rounds land as close to the target as possible without causing collateral damage. The focus on accuracy and the iterative nature of this mission distinguishes it as the standard method for executing accurate indirect fire operations.

The other choices represent different aspects of fire support or types of missions, but they do not encapsulate the specific requirements and processes involved in initiating an "Adjust Fire" mission.
