What is NOT a method for responsive fires?

The method of streamlining the call for fire by shortening the number of transmissions does not align with the concept of responsive fires. Responsive fires require effective and timely communication to ensure that fire support can be delivered accurately and rapidly when needed. While reducing the number of transmissions may seem efficient, it could potentially sacrifice critical information that is necessary for a well-informed and precise call for fire.

Responsive fires rely on thorough communication to ensure that artillery, mortars, or other fire support assets engage the right targets effectively. The other methods mentioned—rehearsals, planning fire support requirements in advance, and continuously training observers—are essential to create a comprehensive framework that enhances responsiveness. They ensure that all personnel involved understand their roles, the expected procedures, and the capabilities of various fire support assets, which ultimately leads to quicker and more effective response times in real combat scenarios.
