AUTHENTICATION IS script.setAttribute("src", "//www.npttech.com/advertising.js"); If the observer does not specify the number of rounds to be fired in effect, the FDC should notify the observer of the number of rounds that will be fired in effect. The observer announces the method of control by use of the terms below: (1) At my command (AMC). When the observer is certain that the target location is accurate and that the first volley will have the desired effect on the target with little or no adjustment, he announces, "Fire for effect." If another interval is required, it is indicated in seconds. The target size and shape if these are significant. correction of that subelement will affect other transmitted Shell illuminating The observer requested IMP in effect, and the FDC decides to fire PROX in effect.

We invite you to submit proposals for oral and poster presentations at the 9th International Fire Ecology and Management Congress. (9) Repeat. The corrections are sent next: c.

Changes to the Call for Fire. The AMC and TOT When engaging a planned target or target of opportunity that has taken friendly maneuver or aerial elements under fire, the observer announces, "Immediate suppression (target location)."

The preferred method is to have the FDC compute the intervals between the HE and illuminating rounds. (2) When the observer requests smoke, the chief computer normally directs the use of HE initially in the adjustment and WP for the completion of the adjustment and FFE.
