Multiple Choice

Upon receipt of a fire mission, the Gunner repeats the announced Quadrant and applies it to the M18A1 Fire Control Quadrant.

Focus on how the fire mission data are used with the M18A1 Fire Control Quadrant. When a fire mission is received, the Gunner doesn’t verbally repeat the announced Quadrant back. Instead, the essential step is to translate that Quadrant information into the FCQ setting: rotate or position the M18A1 Fire Control Quadrant so that its traverse reference matches the announced Quadrant, and then establish the corresponding elevation as directed. The Quadrant data are an input to the FCQ, not a data point you recite aloud back to the observer. Verbal repetition of the Quadrant isn’t part of the standard procedure, so the statement is not correct.
