- Correct Answer ✔ ️ ✔️ Observed
It is imperative that all reinforcing obstacles are observed in order to maximize the use of available indirect fires on the enemy.

would then provide over-watch while the other two units move. This action is repeated until the unit as a whole reaches its final destination.
By Unit: In an instance where security en-route to the objective is not as much of a factor, the machine gun element may be ordered to displace directly to the parent units position in order to provide the immediate additional firepower of the machine guns in support of consolidatioN
SBF MORT (O) - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔️ Objective
The unit will be forced or directed to move to one of two types of locations. Once the maneuver element has completed the assault upon the tactical objective, the unit leader may task the machine gun element to move to their location in order to provide addition fires in support of consolidation. An additional consideration may be a secondary support by fire position in order to continue support of an attack after the initial position has become untenable.

Improving lines of communication, MSR's, disrupting enemy forces by emplacing obstacles on enemy's most likely avenues of approach
rapidly applying a concentrated force at a point or place to crack the obstacle and rupture the defense. Massed combat power is directed against an enemy weakness.
IFOMS (S) - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔ ️ Synchronization
Higher can assign these routes based on operational knowledge of the area, or it can be left to the discretion of the subordinate unit leader in charge of those Marines who may have better situation awareness of the battlefield as it now stands
SBF MORT (T) - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔️ Time
Careful consideration must be given to when that unit will displace. We must plan for when we will need their fires again if displacing to a secondary SBF, or how long we will be able to support consolidation while the machine gun assets displace to the rest of the un
MG Tasking Statements - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔️ destroy
neutralize
suppress
MTC task organization - Correct Answer ✔ ️ ✔️ Advanced Guard:
the guard unit that precedes the main body of a company or larger movement to contact.
Main Body
Rear/Flank Guard: responsible for preventing the enemy from observing or using direct fires on the main body from its rear/flank.
Combat orders Offensive (DFDTC) - Correct Answer ✔ ️ ✔
️ Distribution
Form of Maneuver
Direction of Attack
TCMs
Consolidation
Communications
Fire support coordination measures (Permissive) - Correct Answer
✔️ ✔️ Free Fire Area (FFA): specific designated area into which any weapon system may fire without additional coordination with the establishing headquarters.
Fire support coordination measures (Restrictive) - Correct Answer
✔️ ✔️ Restrictive Fire Line (RFL): line established between converging friendly forces (one or both may be moving) that prohibits fires, or effects of fires, across the line without coordination with the affected force.
No Fire Area (NFA): an area into which no fires or effects of fire are allowed.
Obstacle tasks - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔️ Disrupt - Breaks up the
enemy's formations
Turn - A turn effect manipulates the enemy's maneuver in a desired direction. It 1) must have a subtle orientation so that the enemy is enticed to maneuver rather than breach and 2) is easily detected to entice the enemy to it.
Fix - slows the enemy within a specified area so that he can be killed with fires
Block - stop an enemy's advance along a specific avenue of approach
Types of wires - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔️ Tactical
Trajectory - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔️ arching flight path of the round from the muzzle of the weapon to the target
Cone of Fire - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔️ pattern of each round fired
due to vibration. tolerances of ammo, and weapon shooter
Flanking Fires - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔️ Fires relievers on flanks of
target. Where target is oriented 90 or more degrees away from firing unit
Frontal fires - Correct Answer ✔ ️ ✔️ fires delivered on the front of a target, when the target is oriented on the firing un
Oblique Fires - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔️ fire delivered on the
oblique of a target, when the target is oriented between 0 and 90 degrees to the firing unit.
Enfilade Fire - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔️ the long axis of the beaten
zone coincides with or nearly coincides with the long axis of the target. This class of fire is either frontal or flanking and is the most desirable class of fire with respect to the target, because it maximizes the use of the beaten zone.
Employment Principles (PICMDEEP) P - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔
️ Pairs: we attempt to employ machine guns in pairs at all times. This
allows us to duplicate fires to ensure continuous fire support even if one gun goes down. This also gives us "talking guns", giving us constant fires on the targe
Employment Principles (PICMDEEP) I - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔
️ Interlocking fires: reinforce and double the firepower employed across the units frontage.
Employment Principles (PICMDEEP) C - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔
️ Coordination of fires: dictates use of appropriate weapons to fire on appropriate targets.
Employment Principles (PICMDEEP) M - Correct Answer ✔️ ✔
️ Mutual support: the weapons systems need to be able to support
each other. If one weapon is overrun or fails, the other weapon needs to be able to fire the mission.
