Which CFF element provides the precise location of the target?

• A. Target Location
• B. Observer
• C. Method of Engagement
• D. Warning Order

Answer: (A)

In a Call For Fire, the element that provides the exact spot where the target is located is the Target Location. This component delivers the precise coordinates or referencing information (such as grid coordinates, offset from a known point, or other location cues) that allow the firing unit to calculate the aim point and deliver rounds accurately. The observer may also describe the target to help identify it, but that description alone doesn’t establish where to fire. Other parts of the CFF specify how the fire will be delivered and controlled (what type of engagement, timing, and methods), not the target’s location.
