Fire control order in fieldcraft and tactics is defined by which of the following?
1. Group
2. Range
3. Indication of target
4. Type of fire
Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Explanation

In military fieldcraft and tactics, a Fire Control Order (FCO) is a structured sequence of commands given by a commander to direct the fire of their unit effectively. The sequence follows the mnemonic GRIT, which stands for:

  • Group: Indicates the specific unit or section (e.g., "No. 1 Section") that is to engage the target.
  • Range: Provides the distance to the target in meters or yards so that soldiers can set their weapon sights correctly.
  • Indication: Describes where the target is located using landmarks, directions, or the clock-ray method.
  • Type of Fire: Specifies the rate or method of fire to be employed (e.g., "Deliberate", "Rapid", or "Bursts").

As all four components mentioned in the question are part of the GRIT mnemonic, the correct option is 1, 2, 3, and 4.
