What command is used to adjust fire when using a polar method?

• A. ADJUST FIRE POLAR, OVER
• B. ADJUST POLAR, OVER
• C. ADJUST WIND POLAR, OVER
• D. POLAR ADJUST, OVER

Answer: (A)

When adjusting fire with the polar method, you specify the adjustment in polar terms by using the phrase that clearly ties the action to the fire mission and the method. The correct call is ADJUST FIRE POLAR, OVER. This explicitly communicates that you want corrections issued in polar coordinates (range and bearing from your position) and that you’re ready for the response. The inclusion of the word FIRE links the adjustment to the current mission, and the word OVER signals the end of your transmission and readiness for a reply. Other options don’t fit because they either omit FIRE, add wind (which would indicate a different adjustment method), or reorder the words in a nonstandard way, which can create confusion about the method being used.
