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]
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. |
