Which term marks the end of the planned firing sequence when the required rounds have been fired?

• A. Rounds Complete
• B. Shot, Out
• C. Splash, Out
• D. Target Acquired

Answer: (A)

In a fire-support mission, you need a clear way to close the firing sequence once the requested rounds are fired. Saying “Rounds Complete” communicates unambiguously that the planned amount of fire has been delivered and no further rounds are planned unless a new mission is requested. This avoids any confusion about whether more rounds should be fired.

The other phrases don’t signal the end of the entire mission. “Target acquired” is about identifying the target, not about finishing the firing sequence. “Shot, out” or “Splash, out” relate to a shot or a splash event and leaving, but they don’t definitively mark the completion of the whole planned fire mission.
