Forward Observer Practice Test

A linear target symbol indicates that the target is more than ___ meters but less than ___ meters.

100, 300 500, 1000 150, 400 200, 600

Correct Answer:

200, 600

Explanation:

A linear target symbol conveys a distance band rather than an exact range. For this symbol, the intended distance window is between 200 and 600 meters, meaning the target is more than 200 meters away but less than 600 meters. This banded cue helps observers and fires teams estimate range quickly when a precise distance isn’t known, allowing them to adjust fire accurately within a practical envelope. The other ranges don’t fit because they correspond to different symbols or conventions. The 200–600 meter band is the one matched to a linear target symbol, signaling mid-range distances suitable for this type of target presentation.
