FIRE FOR EFFECT

Night vision goggles and a BC scope
Tabulated firing tables and a lanyard rope
Call for a fire mission for a hasty shot
Tanks in the open a grid to plot

Call the grid to the FDC
FO reports all he sees
Adjusting fire with flares for light
Call for battery three, HE all night

A hasty mission you shoot and go
High angle shots, on target you know
Fuse VT and point det rounds
Fingers in your ears, cannons are loud

FIST travels light with infantry
Call for fire adjusted in mils and degrees
Indirect fire, harassment and interdiction
Artillery shoots with winning conviction
