What is the Danger Close distance threshold?

• A. 600 meters or closer
• B. 1000 meters
• C. 300 meters
• D. 500 meters

Answer: (A)

Danger Close is the point at which indirect fire becomes hazardous to nearby friendly troops, triggering extra precautions and coordination. The standard boundary used in this context is 600 meters or closer. That makes 600 meters the threshold: if fire or targets lie within 600 meters of friendly forces, it’s considered Danger Close and must be handled with heightened safety and coordination. Distances beyond 600 meters are not in the Danger Close category. The other options either sit outside that boundary (1000 meters) or are simply within the Danger Close zone without defining the boundary value itself (300 and 500 meters).
