Which term best describes a drawing used by leaders to coordinate fire and movement within a defined sector?

• A. Route Card
• B. Liaison Log
• C. Sector Sketch
• D. Situational Report

Answer: (C)

This item tests your understanding of how leaders visually coordinate fire and movement within a defined sector. A sector sketch is the diagram that shows the boundaries of the assigned sector and where each unit can operate, including the directions of fire, sectors of responsibility, and routes for movement. It provides a clear, shared picture of how fires, obstacles, and maneuver fit together, helping prevent fratricide and ensuring coordinated effort within the area of operation. The other tools serve different purposes: a route card documents planned movement routes for units to follow, not the layout of sectors and fires; a liaison log records communications and coordination with adjacent or higher units; and a situational report summarizes current circumstances, not the drawn plan for how fires and movement are to be conducted within a sector.
