|
Definition
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
Can surface to surface fire trajectories pass through a kill box? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
What is the primary purpose of a kill box? |
|
Definition
To allow air assets to conduct interdiction against surface tgts w/o further coord with the establishing authority and w/o terminal attack ctrl (8) |
|
|
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
How is a kill box normally defined? |
|
Definition
Usually with a ref system, however can be defined by terrain features or a radius (9) |
|
|
Term
What does an active kill box signify? |
|
Definition
1 A/S potentially occupied by attack ac 2 underlying surface zone that contains known or suspected enemy tgts 3 underlying surface zone free of friendly forces (9) |
|
|
Term
Define the following terms (kill box): 1. established 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 6. cancelled - kb is no longer in effect (10) |
|
|
Term
Define the following terms (kill box): 1. Planned 2. Immediate 3. On-order |
|
Definition
1. Planned- developed during planning process 2. Immediate- developed and established during execution phase of an op 3. On-order - planned w/o a specific time for it to be established (11) |
|
|
Term
t/f Kill boxes are ref systems, not FSCMs |

|
|
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
What two ways are a kb established? What types of fires can be delivered in a blue/ purple kb? |
|
Definition
Planned and immediate; purple= air to surface and surface to surface indirect, blue=air to surface (16) |
|
|
Term
Who is responsible for kb coord? |
|
Definition
Unless previously coordinated, the first flight is responsible for kb coord (17) |
|
|
Term
__________ are ideally suited and prepared to provide all kb coord |
|
Definition
FAC (A), scar-trained flights (17) |
|
|
Term
At a mimimum, C2 agencies will pass (kill box coord): |
|
Definition
1. kb location 2. Status 3. Coordinator 4. Freq 5. Friendlies 6. Threats (18) |
