TBS PHASE 3 EXAM ACTUAL Questions
and CORRECT Answers
MG Support relationships - General - CORRECT ANSWER "Support given to the supported force
as a whole and not to any particular subdivision thereof. " Supported units must coordinate with the
supporting unit's parent in order to receive specific or more direct support.
MG Support relationships - Direct - CORRECT ANSWER A unit in direct support of another unit
is assigned the mission of providing the support requested directly to the supported unit
MG Support Relationships - Attachments - CORRECT ANSWER Attachment is the placement of a
unit in an organization where such placement is relatively temporary. The organization to which a unit is
attached assumes complete tactical and administrative control over the unit, subject to any limitations
(usually time) stipulated in the attachment order.
Oblique Fire - CORRECT ANSWER Fire delivered on the oblique of a target, when the target is
oriented between 0 and 90 degrees to the firing unit.
Enfilade Fire - CORRECT ANSWER - The long axis of the beaten zone coincides with or nearly
coincides with the long axis of the target.
- This class of fire is either Frontal or Flanking and is the most desirable class of fire with respect to the
target, because it maximizes the use of the beaten zone
MG Employment Principles - CORRECT ANSWER PICMDEEP: Pairs, Interlocking Fires,
Coordination of Fires, Mutual Support, Defilade, Enfilade, Economy of Fires, Protection
Offensive Roles of MG's - CORRECT ANSWER Fires in Support of: Maneuver, Consolidation,
Assault, Isolation
MG Displacement Considerations - CORRECT ANSWER MORT
