What is the initial height of burst for all 105mm illumination rounds?

The initial height of burst for all 105mm illumination rounds is standardized at 750 meters. This height is crucial for ensuring the effective dispersion of illumination over the desired area.

Illumination rounds are specifically designed to provide light in a specific area, enhancing visibility during nighttime operations for both ground troops and aerial surveillance. The chosen height of 750 meters allows the illumination to effectively cover a larger area below, helping to disrupt potential enemy activities and increase safety for friendly forces.

Understanding the significance of the height of burst is important for FIST personnel as it ensures that they can provide accurate fire support and illuminate areas of interest or concern while maximizing the effectiveness of the illumination provided by the rounds. The other heights listed do not represent the standard set for 105mm illumination rounds, showcasing the importance of adhering to the specific height of 750 meters in tactical operations.
