Which targets are defined as planned targets for which fires are scheduled at a specific time in the ATO?

• A. Unplanned targets
• B. On-call targets
• C. Unanticipated targets
• D. Scheduled targets

Answer: (D)

Scheduled targets are defined as planned targets in the ATO that have a specific time assigned for fires. This time slot makes the engagement precise and synchronized with the overall operation, ensuring proper sequencing, deconfliction, and resource coordination. The other terms describe targets without a fixed firing time: on-call targets are ready for engagement but not assigned a specific moment, while unplanned or unanticipated targets are not part of the initial plan and may require rapid addition or adjustment.
