How far away from the target should an auxiliary adjusting point be?

The recommended distance for an auxiliary adjusting point from the target is typically 500 meters. This distance is ideal because it allows the observer to remain safe from the effects of enemy fire, while still being close enough to maintain an effective line of sight. The 500-meter range strikes a balance between safety and battlefield visibility, ensuring the observer can accurately adjust fire without being too exposed to direct enemy action. This distance also facilitates effective communication with both the fire support team and the units engaged in the operation, enhancing coordination and effectiveness during fire missions.
