Refine a fire mission based on spotted impacts in the following format:

[target number], 

(

(direction [direction from the FO to the target, in milliradians]), 

left/right [offset perpendicular to FO-target line, from the known point to the target, in meters], 

add/drop [offset parallel to FO-target line, from the last provided value to the target, in meters], 

(up/down [altitude change from the known point to the target; altitude is measured above sea level]

), 

[type of mission],

over

Type of missionMeaning
not specifiedPrevious mission was ADJUST FIRE, current request is again ADJUST FIRE
REPEATPrevious mission was FIRE FOR EFFECT, current request is again FIRE FOR EFFECT
FIRE FOR EFFECT

The FO is confident the next salvo will hit the target with the required accuracy.

Transition from an ADJUST FIRE mission type to a FIRE FOR EFFECT mission type. This activates the requested method of engagement “in effect”, if any.

ADJUST FIRE

The FO is not confident the next salvo will hit the target with the required accuracy, so they want to adjust the fires through observation one round at a time.

Transition from a FIRE FOR EFFECT mission type to an ADJUST FIRE mission type. This (re-)activates the requested method of engagement “in adjust”, if any.

Last major change:

Add up/down adjustments
