Which item is included in the second transmission for a CFF?

• A. Observer ID
• B. Time of flight
• C. Description
• D. Target location

Answer: (D)

In a Call For Fire, information is exchanged in a staged way to lock in who is calling and where the target is before the firing solution is executed. The second transmission is used to confirm and deliver the precise target location that the guns will point to. After the observer has identified themselves and provided initial context, the exact coordinates of the target are transmitted so the fire-direction team can compute the correct ballistic solution and place rounds on target. The observer’s identity typically appears in the first transmission, and other details like the general description or timing data are handled in related parts of the call or later transmissions; the precise target location is refined and sent in the second transmission to ensure accuracy.
