FIRE MISSION CALL FOR FIRE (FM.CFF) (CAN)
Warning order Order is sent on the supported arm net: G11 THIS IS 13A.
FIRE MISSION OVER.Target location The supported arm will point out the target to be engaged
by one of the following methods:
1 Grid reference, e.g., GRID 57822 67253 (with LAV, use 10
figs)
2 If a reference point is available (i.e., one either known to
both the supported arm and the observer, or visible and
recognizable to both), it may be used to point out the
target, e.g.:
a. REFERENCE RED BARN, SOUTHEAST ALONG TRACK
200 METRES, 2 BMPS IN HULL DOWN POSITION; or
b. REFERENCE TARGET AP1234, DIRECTION 0500, R200
A400, INFANTRY PLATOON WITH ATGM DUG IN WITH
OVERHEAD COVER.
3 If no convenient reference point is available, the supported
arm may request that a group of rounds or a smoke round
be fired to provide a reference point and then indicate the
target using the group of rounds or smoke, e.g.:
a. MARK BY SMOKE, REFERENCE POINT IN SQUARE
4927; or
b. REFERENCE SMOKE, NORTHWEST 300M, DEAD
TREE.
4 A direction and distance may be given if the supported
arm’s call sign location is known, e.g., DIRECTION 4800,
DISTANCE 1500, 3 x T72S ADVANCING SOUTH. DIRECTION AND DESCRIPTION SHOULD BE RIGHT AFTER GRID
5 The supported arm may fire smoke or tracer and give the
location of the target in relation to such fire.
Direction Grid bearing in mils (unless stated otherwise).
Description of
target
As detailed as possible.
Type of fire
required
This part of the call for fire will tell the observer what is to
be done to the target, including any requirement for special
ammunition, e.g., NEUTRALIZE WITH SMOKE,
NEUTRALIZE or DESTROY.
Time/duration
of fire for effect
This is the time at which the supported arm wishes FFE to
begin and the duration of such fire, e.g., (NEUTRALIZE)
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR FIVE MINUTES, or
(NEUTRALIZE WITH SMOKE) FOR THREE MINUTES AT
H PLUS 2.
