Which designation is linked to Fires planning/C2 EW?

• A. S23
• B. COMREL
• C. SIOD
• D. S36

Answer: (D)

Fires planning and command-and-control EW involve using electronic warfare to shape how fires are planned and how battlefield C2 networks perform. In the SEW designation system, each functional area has a specific code, and the code assigned to Fires planning/C2 EW is S36. This makes S36 the label for the domain that integrates EW into fire planning and C2 operations, ensuring EW actions support decision cycles, targeting, and communications critical to command and control.

The other codes point to different EW areas or to non-EW functions, so they don’t map to Fires planning/C2. For example, one code is tied to another facet of EW operations, another designation corresponds to a non-EW function (such as public relations), and the remaining one aligns with a different EW specialty. Thus, S36 is the designation linked to Fires planning/C2 EW.
