In the Method of Fire and Control, what does 'When Ready' indicate?

• A. Less control, faster response, standard method of fire and control
• B. More control, slower response
• C. Immediate mass fire
• D. Not used

Answer: (A)

In the Method of Fire and Control, “When Ready” means fires will begin as soon as the gun crews are ready, without waiting for additional timing or adjustments from the observer. This trades some control over firing timing for a faster response, using the standard method of fire and control to get rounds moving quickly. It’s used when speed is essential and the observer is prioritizing rapid fire over elaborate coordination. The other options describe scenarios with more control or different firing concepts, which is not what “When Ready” implies.
