GRG and URG are examples of which type of graphic representations used in targeting planning?

• A. Graphic representations
• B. Radio frequency charts
• C. Weather overlays
• D. Unit identifiers

Answer: (A)

In targeting planning, information is most effective when shown visually on the map. GRG and URG are examples of graphic representations—overlay graphics that lay out grid-based reference information directly on the map to create a clear, shared picture of where targets sit, how they relate spatially, and how fires might be applied. These overlays help planners quickly interpret complex data, align actions, and coordinate with aircrew and fires teams.

They aren’t about signals or weather data, so they aren’t radio frequency charts or weather overlays. They also aren’t simply labels for units, so they aren’t unit identifiers. Instead, they are visual graphics that encode targeting information in a map-based format, making it easier to plan and execute operations.
