Army OCS Call For Fire Practice Test

Why do you send direction to the FDC?

To orient the FDC to the observer's view of the target To confirm target location in the grid To request a different mission type To update the OT factor

Correct Answer:

To orient the FDC to the observer's view of the target

Explanation:

The main idea is that you orient the FDC to what you’re seeing. By sending direction, you set the FDC’s reference to the observer’s view of the target, so the FDC can align its azimuth readings with the target’s line of sight. This lets the FDC translate your sighted target into the correct firing data (deflection and elevation) and ensures the guns are aimed along the same line you’re observing. It isn’t about confirming grid coordinates, requesting a different mission type, or updating the OT factor, which are handled through other information or procedures.
