Definition
|
|
Term
| What is the primary purpose of a kill box? |
|
Definition

|
|
Term
| T/F A kill box will not specifically be established for CAS but this does not restrict CAS to inside of established kill boxes if all CAS reqs are met |
|
Definition

|
Term
| What is the goal of a Kill box? |
|
Definition
| To reduce the coord req to fulfill support reqs with maximum flexibility, while preventing fratricide (8) |
|
|
Term

2. open
3. active
4. cold
5. closed
6. cancelled |
|
Definition
1. established - in effect via jt tgting cycle or immediate
2. open - open to fires w/o further coord or deconfliction
3. active - a/c are flying in kb.
4. cold - kb is not active. open to fires unless closed
5. closed - fires not allowed

|
Term
| Why is a kb a unique fscm? |
|
Definition
| because it may contain other measures within its boundaries (13) |
|
|
Term
| A ____ kb permits air to surface fires in the kb w/o further coord or deconfliction |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| A ____ kb reduces the coord reqs for air to surface fires, while still allowing surface component CCs to employ surface to surface indirect fires |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
