What FDC command will the FO receive after sending a CFF as "At My Command" or "By Round, At My Command"?

When a Forward Observer (FO) sends a Call for Fire (CFF) with the specification of "At My Command" or "By Round, At My Command," it indicates that they want to maintain control over the timing of the fire. This command structure is meant to ensure that the FO can dictate when the rounds are to be fired, thus allowing for adjustments based on the tactical situation or target acquisition.

In this context, the command that the FO will receive from the Fire Direction Center (FDC) is typically "Ready." This response means that the artillery unit is prepared to fire but is waiting for further instructions from the FO. By receiving a "Ready" command, the FO confirms that the artillery is loaded and in a state of readiness but acknowledges that the actual firing will occur at the command of the FO. This allows the FO to take full advantage of the timing and coordination of supporting fire, ensuring that it aligns with the overall tactical decision-making at that moment.

On the other hand, the other possible answers do not accurately represent the scenario described. Commands like "Laid," "Splash," and "In Position Ready to Fire" reflect different stages in the firing process or conditions of the artillery setup. However, they do not align
