Which CFF element describes the target characteristics?

• A. Target Description
• B. Target Location
• C. Warning Order
• D. Observer ID

Answer: (A)

The element that conveys what the target is like and how it is acting is the Target Description. It communicates the target’s characteristics—what type of target it is, its size, notable features, movement or rest state, speed and direction if moving, and any camouflage or armor details that affect engagement. This information helps the firing unit tailor the munitions, fuse settings, and firing solution to the actual target. Target Location tells where the target is, Warning Order gives the preliminary notice to begin engagement, and Observer ID identifies who is observing; none of these describe the target’s characteristics the way Target Description does.
