What is the purpose of the "displacement" measure in fire control?

The purpose of the "displacement" measure in fire control is primarily to move the team to a safer position. This tactical maneuver is essential for ensuring the safety of personnel while maintaining the effectiveness of fire operations. Displacement allows units to reposition without compromising their ability to provide effective fire support, particularly in dynamic combat situations where enemy threats may change rapidly or when they need to avoid counter-fire.

While enhancing fire power, changing the target area, or ceasing operations may be necessary under specific circumstances, they do not fundamentally define "displacement" in the context of fire control. Moving to a safer position is the core intent of this measure, as it focuses on both the preservation of resources and the strategic advantage during engagements.
