About

a. The purpose of the conduct of fire is to place effective fire on the target by adjusting the fire with data from observed bursts. The fact that the fire has been adjusted on the target is estab- lished when rounds or fragments strike the target or the target has been enclosed by a bracket (par. 12) of appropriate size. b. Binoculars, if available, should be used in adjusting fire. By using binoculars and the mil relation (par. 8), an observer can more accu- rately determine the distance to the right or left between the burst and the target. If binoculars are not available, the observer can measure the angle in mils with his hand (par. 10b) and con- vert the angle into meters. 7. Terminology a. Certain standard terms are used in field artillery to simplify fire requests and radiotele- phone procedure.
