Which option lists the full IWLDMM components?

• A. Observer ID; Warning Order; Target Location; Target Description; Method of Engagement; Method of Fire Control
• B. Observer ID; Warning Order; Target Location; Target Description
• C. Warning Order; Target Location; Target Description; Method of Engagement
• D. Observer ID; Warning Order; Target Location; Target Description; Method of Engagement

Answer: (A)

The concept here is knowing all six pieces that make up a complete call for fire. A proper IWLDMM transmission includes: Observer Identification, Warning Order, Target Location, Target Description, Method of Engagement, and Method of Fire Control. Each element serves a purpose: who is observing, the initial instructions and safety constraints, where the target is, what the target is like, how the shooter should engage it, and how the fire will be controlled. The full list includes every one of these six items, so the option that contains all six is correct. The other choices miss one or more components, such as leaving out the Method of Fire Control or another essential element.
