In AMD fire control, which method relies on previously promulgated orders?

• A. Direct Control
• B. Devolved Control
• C. Procedural Control
• D. Automatic Control

Answer: (C)

Procedural Control is the method that relies on previously promulgated orders and standard operating procedures. In this approach, fire control actions follow fixed, published directives and procedures, so engagements proceed by stepping through established steps rather than receiving new commands for each target. This promotes speed and consistency because everyone acts under the same pre-approved guidance. Direct Control requires issuing specific, real-time instructions for each engagement, not relying on prior orders. Devolved Control grants lower echelons authority to act within the higher command’s intent, rather than strictly following published procedures. Automatic Control operates on sensor data and pre-programmed rules to engage automatically, without needing enacted orders for every action.
