Adjustment of Fire 28 September 2017 ATP 3-09.30 5-35 Figure 5-23. Abbreviated registration example, page 2 5-92. Follow normal adjust fire procedures until a 100 meter bracket is split. 5-93. Then send the correction ADD (or DROP) 50 METERS. 5-94. Spot the resulting burst, and send minor corrections for deviation and range to the FDC in the following format: For impact and time portion of registrations: LEFT 10, DROP 40, RECORD AS REGISTRATION POINT, TIME, REPEAT, OVER. For an impact only registration: RIGHT 30, DROP 10, RECORD AS REGISTRATION POINT, END OF MISSION, OVER. 5-95. Normal adjust fire, time adjustment procedures are followed in the time portion: Obtain an airburst and correct to a 20 meter HOB. Instead of firing additional rounds, send refinement the FDC in the following format: UP 10, RECORD AS TIME REGISTRATION POINT, END OF MISSION, OVER. 5-96. Abbreviated registrations are much more accurate and therefore more feasible if the observer is equipped with a laser rangefinder.
