What does the term ROUNDS COMPLETE indicate?

• A. The final round in the fire for effect phase is fired.
• B. The first round in adjustment
• C. All rounds have landed within one second
• D. The observer has completed spotting

Answer: (A)

Rounds complete indicates the final round in the fire-for-effect sequence has been fired. It signals the end of the firing portion of the engagement, confirming to the gun battery that the requested number of rounds has been delivered and the mission can wrap up or move to the next task. This isn’t about the first round in adjustment, nor does it imply all rounds landed within one second, nor does it mean the observer has finished spotting. It’s simply the marker that the fire-for-effect portion is finished.
