If target priority changes, what steps should be taken?

• A. The weather section only updated.
• B. No updates needed once fires have started.
• C. The FSP should be updated, units re-briefed, MTC adjusted, and chain of command notified, to reflect new priority targets.
• D. Only the logistics plan is updated.

Answer: (C)

When target priority changes, you must synchronize the entire fire support effort by updating the Fire Support Plan, re-briefing units, adjusting the targeting criteria, and informing the chain of command. This ensures fires are directed to the new high-value targets, keeps all units aligned with the commander's intent, and prevents misallocation or confusion on the battlefield. Updating only one aspect, like weather or logistics, won’t realign targeting and coordination, and assuming no updates are needed after fires have started can lead to wasted fires or gaps in coverage.
