The Recorder verifies the Shell/Fuze combination, Charge, ________, and Quadrant with the Section Chief from the DA Form 4513.

The Recorder verifies the Shell/Fuze combination, Charge, ________, and Quadrant with the Section Chief from the DA Form 4513.

• A. Deflection
• B. Elevation
• C. Azimuth
• D. Range

Answer: (A)

Deflection is the horizontal aiming angle used to bring the gun onto the target when following the quadrant method. The Recorder verifies that the Shell/Fuze, the Charge, the Deflection, and the Quadrant readings all correspond on the DA Form 4513 with the Section Chief. Deflection is paired with the quadrant to confirm the horizontal orientation of the gun, ensuring the bore is pointed correctly before firing. Elevation or range would handle vertical or distance settings, and azimuth is not the term used here in this verification step; the procedure relies on deflection read from the quadrant to establish the correct horizontal aim.
