Fire Control Order

A Fire Control Order (FCO) is used for a team leader to direct their teams fire quickly and effectively towards the target they need them to engage.

The acronym for Fire Control Orders is: GRIT

  1. GROUP. This indicates who is being addressed, "Section", "Fire Team" (Charlie or Delta), "No. 2 Rifleman", etc. 
  2. RANGE. This indicates the distance to the target. 
  3. INDICATION. This indicates in which direction to look and what to look for. 
  4. TYPE of FIRE. This indicates what type of fire is required.

Example:

FTL: ‘Green Team. 100m. Enemy infantry, North. Point fire!’
