What term is used to adjust distance toward or away from a known reference point?
Correct Answer:
Add or drop
Explanation:
The action being tested is the ability to calibrate distance by adding or dropping distance relative to a known reference point. In forward observer practice, you adjust the reported range by adding meters (to increase the distance) or dropping meters (to decrease the distance) so your fire data lines up with that fixed reference. This lets you quickly correct range estimates without redoing all calculations, using the reference point as the anchor. The other phrases describe general directions or unrelated actions, but they don’t capture this specific adjustment method.
