Wouldn't that be called "danger close" these days?
Bob
I think it was then too but it's acceptable in action as long as you state "Danger close" at the beginning of the call for fire.Quote:

I noticed that, too. Wonder if it is a 97 or a 12.
It has a long muzzle out front of the shroud, that would be '97?Quote:

In close air support, artillery, mortar, and naval gunfire support fires, it is the term included in the method of engagement segment of a call for the fire which indicates that friendly forces are within close proximity of the target, usually 600 meters however The close proximity distance can be determined by the weapon and munition fired.Quote:

Now! Thanks
In the parlance don't matter much if you're on the business end.Quote:
