What does the 6-digit target location identify in a CFF?

• A. Identifies the target location precisely
• B. Identifies the target description
• C. Identifies enemy morale
• D. Identifies friend unit

Answer: (A)

Six-digit grid coordinates identify the precise point on the map where the target is located in a Call For Fire. The first three digits are the easting and the last three are the northing, which pinpoints a specific 100-meter square on the ground. This exact location is what ensures fires land where intended. It doesn’t convey what the target looks like, its morale, or any friend unit information. If more precision were needed, you would use eight-digit or more coordinates to narrow the area further.
