Infantry division
Which Army unit has the mission to close with the enemy using available firepower and controlled maneuvers?
Brigade
Which Army unit is the basic tactical maneuver unit?
Battalion
Each participant must make every effort possible to ensure friendly units and enemy forces are correctly identified prior to
the release of ordnance
Scheduled requests require the requesting maneuver unit to identify the target and the desired
time on target
The mission data for preplanned requests is passed down through
maneuver channels
The TACP at each intermediate headquarters monitors the immediate request and informs the
G3/S3 Air, ALO, FSCOORD
The use of the CAS request form is mandatory unless otherwise authorized by
higher authority
In which battlefield operation will CAS missions be limited in scope and duration?
Deep operations
Which battlefield operation requires special care to identify friendly forces and ensure that they are NOT subject to direct attack or weapons effects from CAS ordnance?
Rear operations
Which battlefield operation with CAS gives the maneuver force commander freedom of movement?
Offensive operations
Which battlefield operation can cause the enemy to deploy prematurely?
Defensive operations
The standard for target location is MGRS/UTM grid coordinates in
6 digits
Many GPS receivers can compute quick, accurate coordinate conversions, provided the---
users are properly trained
Which fire support coordination measure is established and adjusted by the land forces commander?
Fire support coordination line
Which fire support coordination measure is a specific area in which any weapon system can fire without additional coordination?
Free-fire area
The mission brief for a CAS mission should NOT change once an aircrew
leaves the IP
ZULU time is broadcast on---
5.000 - 25.000MHz (5.000MHz intervals)
A basic consideration of missions involving LGWs requires coordination of laser-compatible designators, ordnance, and---
attack parameters
To be effective, a target mark must be
timely and accurate
Laser marks will be initiated by a
10 second warning call
IR pointers and indirect fire munitions marks should appear/impact---
30 to 45 seconds prior to CAS ordnance impact
Visual marks should impact within-
100 meters of the target
IR marks should be initiated
20-30 seconds prior to TOT/TTT
The two methods of exercising positive control are
direct and indirect
Who assesses the risk involved with "reasonable assurance" when used for CAS missions?
JFC
What is BDA used for?
update the enemy order of battle
All LGWs require designation---
through impact
Who provides aircrews with an attack heading when using laser equipment?
Terminal controllers
Attack headings should avoid the target-to-laser safety zone unless
the tactical situation dictates otherwise
In some situations, LSTs have shifted the designated from the designated to the laser source (LTD) while operating in the attack zone. For this reason, LSTs should NOT be used
as the sole source for target verification
The single MOST important task in conducting CAS is correctly locating and identifying
Friendlies
In order to perform a CAS mission with radar delivery,
the target or offset aimpoint must be radar significant
The effectiveness of NVDs is dependent upon the
amount of ambient light available
What is the MOST significant night illumination factor?
Moon phase
What allows the F16 to be very accurate in delivering air-to-surface munitions?
Bombing computer
What system allows the A-10 the capability to see a laser spot through the symbology in its heads-up display?
Pave Penny
What system provides the A-10 the capability to bomb as accurately as the F-16 and to engage targets with the GAU-8 30mm Gatling gun out to 12,000 feet?
LASTE
Due to the accuracy of the gunship fire and control system, ordnance can be delivered very close to friendly positions. Factors that need to be considered---
ricocheting rounds, terrain features, burst pattern
The greatest hazard to friendly forces when employing the AC-130 is the
possibility of ricocheting rounds
Which AAA system is used for self-defense against low-flying aircraft to provide direct protection of troops?
