Begin a CFF with the first transmission including the warning order, WARNO, in the following format:
[callsign of mortar/artillery battery], [callsign of FO], [type of mission], [method of target location, skipped if the method is GRID], over
The type of mission and method of location to choose from are:
Type of mission | Meaning |
---|---|
FIRE FOR EFFECT | The FO is confident the first salvo will hit the target with the required accuracy, so they want to immediately achieve the desired effect with the full volley. |
ADJUST FIRE | The FO is not confident the first salvo will hit the target with the required accuracy, so they want to adjust the fires through observation one round at a time. |
Method of location | Meaning |
---|---|
GRID | The target location will be given as grid figures. |
POLAR | The target location will be given as a direction and distance from the FO to the target. |
SHIFT FROM KNOWN POINT | The target location will be given as a direction and distance from a shared known point. This can also be a previously recorded target. |
