This publication specifies mandatory spotting procedures for NGS in exact detail. These procedures must be thoroughly understood and precisely followed by ships@ naval gunfire spotters@ and supported units when conducting NGS in order to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness@ even when the units involved have not been previously associated or had an opportunity to conduct prior liaison. Annex A provides examples of the specific procedures; remaining annexes provide supplemental information; and the glossary provides precise definitions of naval gunfire spotting terms and of other terms associated with NGS.
