How many transmissions are made during Immediate Suppression or Immediate Smoke?

During Immediate Suppression or Immediate Smoke, only one transmission is made. This single transmission is essential because it relays critical and urgent information needed by artillery or other fire-support units to respond quickly to an emerging threat. This rapid response is significant in situations where immediate action is necessary to neutralize enemy forces or provide cover, hence why the procedure is streamlined to just one transmission.

In contrast, responses involving more complex call for fire scenarios might require multiple transmissions to relay additional data, such as target details or adjustments, but Immediate Suppression and Immediate Smoke focus on urgency and simplicity in communication. Thus, the focus is on getting the necessary instructions and coordinates for action quickly and efficiently, minimizing the transmission burden on the operator.
