Which statement about a Call for Fire is true?

• A. Target location, target description, method of engagement, and any restrictions.
• B. It replaces ROE.
• C. It is only used for air strikes.
• D. It does not require restrictions.

Answer: (C)

A Call for Fire is a request for indirect fire that must convey four essential details so the supporting unit can engage safely and effectively: target location, target description, method of engagement, and any restrictions. The target location tells where to fire—grid coordinates, map spots, or reference points. The target description explains what the target is and its key features or characteristics. The method of engagement describes how the fire will be delivered—what type of fire, the firing method (adjust fire, fire for effect), and any timing or sequence instructions. The restrictions specify safety and control limits such as danger close, no-fire areas, or ROE constraints. It’s not limited to air strikes, and it does not replace rules of engagement; ROE remains in force regardless of the fire request. It also does require restrictions to control where and how fires are delivered.
