Sabot6 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 When may a FO turn its attention away from its target without jeopardizing the success of the fire mission? For example, if the FO team has a confirmed fire mission may that team engage the enemy with its personal weapons or otherwise break its LOS to the target while waiting for the shells to be fired; once the shells have begun to be fired (I believe the radio call is "begin fire mission" or equivalent); or once all of the shells have been launched ("end fire mission", I think)?

Jonny(FGM) Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I presume you are only referring to arty support and not CAS? I think once the fire for effect radio message comes through it doesn't matter what happens to the FO the shells will fly until the mission is complete or cancelled 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
