Mil relation for various targets.Figure 6-9. Target measurement using binocular reticle.(2) Printed and (A3 only) Digital Maps. The FBCB2 and PLGR do not eliminate theneed for printed maps. The BC must have one to navigate. He must always know wherehe is and where he is going. He can also use the map to determine range. In both theoffense and the defense, he uses a map to continually assess likely enemy locations,engagement areas, and engagement ranges. He adds TRPs to his sector sketch.(a) He uses the TRPs--• To control direct and indirect fires.• To ensure that he reports enemy sightings accurately.• To help determine range to the target, and to do it quickly.(b) He uses a map to determine the best battlecarry setting for the terrain and enemysituation. He uses the map again to adjust the battlecarry as the situation changes.(3) Range Card. The main function of the range card is to help the crew engagetargets in limited visibility. Since the BC already records range data on the range card, hemight as well use it to help him determine range, too (Chapter 8).6-13
