Fire Control Measures Grenadier Knowledge Kit Setup and Grenadier Loadout Legend
Pre-planned fire control measures are critical Smoke Holsters allow the M320 to be easily

Leaders provide: - Smoke obscures enemy vision and masks HE high explosive

Sensing and Adjusting Fire - Illumination can be used for direct fire control

Grenadiers sense where the round landed - Avoid using illumination during friendly air chest, grenadiers must be able to access

Range correct. Impact left/right, range good Dual Purpose (HE/HEDP) (mission dependent)
Doubtful. Impact left/right, range unknown - HE flushes enemy out of cover.
Deflection (deviation/direction): - HE fixes the enemy in place. 12 in the bandoleer, 1 HE in the tube
Right/left of target - HEDP used for lightly armored vehicles. HE on the right, smoke on the left
On-line with the target - HE provides small blast/overpressure.
- HE simulates indirect fire if used in succession.
