Reaction to indirect fire

Artillery and mortars can inflict heavy casualties. Early warning, rapid response, and dispersion are key to survival.

Actions

  • Stay alert for distant firing sounds or incoming shells.
  • Shout "Incoming!" at the first sign of artillery to warn others.
  • If static, spread out and take cover immediately.
  • If mobile, follow the element leader’s direction to escape impact area.

Countering enemy indirect fire

Indirect fire threats can be neutralized through accurate location, counter-battery efforts, or direct assault.

Countermeasures

  • Call for counter-battery or CAS if available.
  • Mortar positions can sometimes be attacked directly.
  • Use triangulation with separated elements and compass bearings to identify artillery source.
  • Expect delayed repeat barrages—stay in cover until confirmed clear.
