An RFL is a line established between converging friendly forces that prohibits fires, or their effects, across the line without coordination with the affected force. This statement is:

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not enough information
• D. Both

Answer: (A)

Fire deconfliction between converging forces relies on a Range Fire Line, a boundary that prevents fires from crossing into the other unit's area without consent. This line is placed between friendly forces whose sectors of fire could overlap, and its purpose is to stop uncoordinated shots that could endanger a partner. By default, fires or their effects are not allowed to cross the line unless the affected force has been informed and has approved the engagement. That coordination requirement is what makes this boundary effective for safety and timing in dynamic situations.

So, the statement aligns with how RFLs are used in practice: a line between converging forces that blocks uncoordinated fires across it. Not having this coordination would defeat the purpose of preventing fratricide, which is why the description is true.
