When is "Adjust Fire" announced?

• A. When the observer believes an adjusted round is required.
• B. When the target is located using polar plot.
• C. When the mission is for Fire for Effect.
• D. When smoke is requested.

Answer: (A)

Adjust Fire is announced when the observer believes an adjusted round is required to bring the impact onto the target. It signals the Fire Direction Center to provide correction data and fire another round to refine the aim point. This is used when the first shot misses or when the observer needs to fine-tune the fire to hit the target. The other options don’t fit because locating a target with a polar plot is simply a method for finding coordinates, not a call for corrections; Fire for Effect is used when you want a rapid, sustained mission after the target is confirmed, and Smoke is a separate request for masking or marking the area.
