What is the final step in the Call For Fire process?

In the Call For Fire process, the final step is typically to plot the target. This is a crucial stage because it ensures that all necessary data regarding the target’s coordinates has been accurately recorded and communicated to enable effective and precise engagement. Plotting the target helps the fire support personnel visualize where the ordnance will impact and is necessary for assessing the effectiveness of the fire mission.

It also allows for adjustments to be made if necessary, ensuring all parties involved in the operation are on the same page regarding the target's location. This step underpins the entire fire support operation, as precise plotting minimizes the risk of collateral damage and maximizes the effectiveness of the strike.
