NGF Report Pepper corresponds to which type of fire mission?

Understanding NGF report codes and what Pepper signals helps you quickly identify the nature of a fire mission. Pepper on an NGF report indicates a non-scheduled fire mission—one requested outside the original fire plan or schedule, typically to address an urgent or emerging situation. This requires rapid coordination and quick allocation of fires because it isn’t part of the preplanned targets. This differs from an unfired target, which is a target identified but not yet fired, and from a new target, which is designated for the first time in the mission. It’s not about ammo status, either. So Pepper equates to a non-scheduled fire mission.
