How far away from the target should an auxiliary adjusting point be?

The correct distance for an auxiliary adjusting point is 500 meters from the target. This distance allows for accurate adjustments while maintaining safety and ensuring effective communication between the fire support team and the artillery unit. By positioning the auxiliary adjusting point at this distance, observers can effectively evaluate the fire's effects and make necessary adjustments based on the target's location and the round's flight characteristics. The 500 meters distance strikes a balance between proximity for observational accuracy and sufficient separation to mitigate risk, especially in dynamic combat environments.
