Feu roulant pour cadrer la cible


Explanation:
8-51.     When a danger close mission is requested, the creeping method of adjustment is used. When the FO requests an adjustment on a target that is within 400 meters of friendly troops, he adds a 200-meter safety factor to ensure that the first round does not fall short. When the initial round is spotted, he estimates the overage in meters. He then makes the correction for range by dropping half of the estimated overage. Once he has given a correction in turns equivalent to a drop in range of 50 meters, OR in the nearest number of half turns equivalent to 50 meters, he continues this same adjustment until he has a RANGE CORRECT, a TARGET, or a SHORT spotting. If, during the adjustment, a round falls short of the target, the FO continues the adjustment using the bracket method of adjustment.
