Which option represents a Fire Support Coordination Measure?

• A. Scheduling protocol for aircraft
• B. Tactical movement directive
• C. Weather considerations guideline
• D. Fire Support Coordination Measure

Answer: (D)

Fire Support Coordination Measures are explicit procedures and boundaries that control how and where fires can be used, to deconflict different fires and protect friendly forces. A term that literally names the concept is correct because it identifies the mechanism used to coordinate and limit fire support across assets and units. The other options describe aspects of planning—aircraft scheduling, tactical movement, and weather considerations—but they are not Fire Support Coordination Measures themselves, which are specifically about governing how fires are applied and deconflicted in the battlefield.
