Force protection measures will be planned according with
- A.
  
  Determination of the force
- B.
  
  The risk to the force
- C.
  
  Location of the force
- D.
  
  Size of the force
Correct Answer

To avoid receiving an electrical shock when disconnecting the battery from the electronic security system(ESS)?
- A.
  
  Remove the negative lead first
- B.
  
  Remove the positive lead first
- C.
  
  It doesn't matter which lead you remove first
- D.
  
  Secure the positive lead first and then the negative
Correct Answer
B. Remove the positive lead first

Explanation
When disconnecting the battery from the electronic security system (ESS), it is recommended to remove the positive lead first. This is because the positive lead is typically connected to the fuse box and other sensitive electrical components. By removing the positive lead first, you reduce the risk of accidentally causing a short circuit or electrical shock. Additionally, removing the positive lead first breaks the electrical connection, making it safer to then remove the negative lead.

When marking targets, the more effective means of delivering accurate fire is?
- A.
  
  Spacing
- B.
  
  Aining point
- C.
  
  Reference point
- D.
  
  Range determination
Correct Answer
B. Aining point

What is the greatest limitation in using the 100 meters method of range determination?
- A.
  
  Observer proficiency requires constant practice
- B.
  
  SF member must pace the range to see if his estimation is correct
- C.
  
  Underestimating sloping ground gives the illusion of a greater distance
- D.
  
  Accuracy is directly related to amount of terrain visible to the observor
Correct Answer
D. Accuracy is directly related to amount of terrain visible to the observor

Explanation
The greatest limitation in using the 100 meters method of range determination is that accuracy is directly related to the amount of terrain visible to the observer. This means that the observer's ability to accurately estimate the range is dependent on how much of the surrounding terrain they can see. If there are obstacles or limited visibility, it becomes more challenging to accurately determine the range using this method.

Rate this question:
42.

How does the observore use off center vision when viewing an object during limited visibility?
- A.
  
  Look 5 degrees above, below or to either side rather then directily at it
- B.
  
  Look 10 degrees above, below or to either side rather then directily at it
- C.
  
  Look 15 degrees above, below rather then directily at it
- D.
  
  Look 20 degrees to either side rather then directily at it
Correct Answer
B. Look 10 degrees above, below or to either side rather then directily at it

Explanation
When the observer uses off-center vision during limited visibility, they should look 10 degrees above, below, or to either side of the object instead of directly at it. This allows the observer to utilize their peripheral vision, which is more sensitive to detecting objects in low light or obscured conditions. By looking slightly off-center, the observer can increase their chances of noticing the object and gathering more information about its presence or characteristics.

When burying the TMS magnetic sensor, how deep perpendicular to the avenue of approach must you bury the magnetic sensor head?
- A.
  
  2 to 4 inches
- B.
  
  4 to 6 inches
- C.
  
  6 to 8 inches
- D.
  
  8 to 10 inches
Correct Answer
C. 6 to 8 inches

Explanation
The TMS magnetic sensor needs to be buried 6 to 8 inches deep perpendicular to the avenue of approach. This depth ensures that the sensor is properly positioned to detect magnetic fields and accurately measure traffic flow. Burying it too shallow may result in inaccurate readings, while burying it too deep may reduce its sensitivity. Therefore, burying the sensor at a depth of 6 to 8 inches provides the optimal balance for accurate and reliable data collection.

The Elec 864M1E long-range passive infrared sensors detection capability can be degraded in?
- A.
  
  In snowy conditions
- B.
  
  Dense fog
- C.
  
  Rainy weather
- D.
  
  Bright sunlight
Correct Answer
B. Dense fog

Explanation
The Elec 864M1E long-range passive infrared sensors detection capability can be degraded in dense fog. This is because dense fog can scatter and absorb the infrared radiation emitted by objects, making it difficult for the sensors to accurately detect and differentiate between objects. The fog particles can also cause false readings or reduce the sensitivity of the sensors, leading to decreased detection capability in such weather conditions.

What is the WSTI used for?
- A.
  
  Alarm annunciation and visual inspection
- B.
  
  Sensor identification and recognition
- C.
  
  To assess the alarms of a sensor activation
- D.
  
  Boundary protection
Correct Answer
C. To assess the alarms of a sensor activation

Explanation
The WSTI (Wireless Sensor Test Instrument) is used to assess the alarms of a sensor activation. This means that it is used to evaluate and analyze the alarms that are triggered when a sensor detects a certain condition or event. The WSTI helps in determining the accuracy and effectiveness of the sensor's alarm system, ensuring that it is functioning properly and providing reliable notifications.

How many people are required to set up the wide area surveillance thermal imager tripod?
- A.
  
  1
- B.
  
  2
- C.
  
  3
- D.
  
  4
Correct Answer
C. 3

Explanation
Three people are required to set up the wide area surveillance thermal imager tripod. This suggests that the tripod is large or heavy, requiring multiple individuals to assemble it properly. Having three people ensures that the setup process can be done efficiently and safely, with each person responsible for specific tasks or components of the tripod.

The primary purpose of the LRTI-CCTV is to?
- A.
  
  Provide full color imagery and video
- B.
  
  Provide communication and data to the base defense operation center
- C.
  
  Allow you to view the enemy from long distances
- D.
  
  Assess alarms annunciating from the TASS system
Correct Answer
D. Assess alarms annunciating from the TASS system

Explanation
The primary purpose of the LRTI-CCTV is to assess alarms annunciating from the TASS system. This means that the LRTI-CCTV is used to monitor and evaluate the alarms that are being signaled by the TASS system. It is not primarily used to provide full color imagery and video, provide communication and data to the base defense operation center, or allow you to view the enemy from long distances.
