In the CFF example, what does the phrase At My Command indicate?

• A. The read-back requirement
• B. The method of Fire and Control
• C. The target location
• D. The ammunition type

Answer: (B)

In a Call For Fire, the phrase shown indicates who controls the firing and when it happens. “At My Command” means the observer will authorize firing; the fire direction center and gun crews wait for the observer to give the go-ahead. It designates the method of Fire and Control as “on my command,” rather than firing automatically or on another trigger. This isn’t about where the target is, what ammunition to use, or any read-back requirement—those are separate parts of the mission.
