On the 9-line CAS brief, which line corresponds to the Target Description?

• A. Line 4
• B. Line 5
• C. Line 6
• D. Line 7

Answer: (B)

The line focused on describing the target provides a concise, recognizable depiction of what the target is and its observable features. In a standard 9-line CAS brief, you move from establishing where the target is and its basic identity to giving a clear description that helps the attacker confirm the target visually. The Target Description should include key identifying details—such as target type, notable equipment, approximate size, orientation, and any distinguishing markings or activities—so the observer or pilot can reliably recognize it in the field. This line sits here because it directly supports recognition after the location and identity have been conveyed, reducing ambiguity and helping prevent misidentification.
