What document does the Recorder verify Quadrant data against?

• A. DA Form 4473
• B. DA Form 4513
• C. Fire Mission Data Section
• D. M18A1 Quadrant Log

Answer: (B)

When preparing a fire mission, you want to ensure the numbers you’re using come from an official, authoritative source. The Recorder cross-checks the Quadrant data against the standardized Fire Mission data document to confirm that the readings and parameters match what was authorized for the mission. That official form is DA Form 4513, which records the critical firing data and serves as the reference for the Quadrant data being used. DA Form 4473 is related to civilian firearm transfers and has no role here. The Fire Mission Data Section may describe where data lives, but the formal, auditable source the Recorder compares against is DA Form 4513. The M18A1 Quadrant Log is a supplementary record of quadrant readings, but verification against the official DA Form 4513 ensures consistency with the approved mission data.
