Final answer:

The statement about the quick smoke mission requirements in the call for fire is false because initial calls typically include location, description, and the desired effect, not wind direction.

The statement is;b) False

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that a quick smoke mission requires the observer to send length, attitude, maneuver target direction, wind direction, and duration in the call for fire is false.

In a call for fire, the observer typically provides the location of the target, description, and the desired effect. Information such as wind direction might influence adjustments after the initial rounds are fired but is not part of the initial call for fire itself.

The statement in the question is true. In a quick smoke mission, the observer needs to provide several pieces of information,

including length (how long the smoke should be visible), attitude (the angle at which the smoke should rise), maneuver target direction (the direction in which the troops should move), wind direction (the direction of the wind), and duration (how long the smoke should last).
