Which symbol is used to designate the Target Reference Point on a map?

• A. Target Reference Point Symbol
• B. Fire Position Symbol
• C. Holding Area Symbol
• D. Engagement Area Symbol

Answer: (A)

In map symbology, the point used as a fixed reference for locating and aiming at a target is marked with the Target Reference Point Symbol. This symbol designates the precise reference location that observers and shooters use when computing coordinates, directing fire, and coordinating targeting without confusing the target with the firing position. The other symbols correspond to different concepts: where fires are delivered from, where troops gather, and where engagement will occur.
