Name a typical risk management control that might be used during CAS.

• A. Engaging without POSID.
• B. Establishing a kill box.
• C. Increasing munitions without restrictions.
• D. Ignoring altitude restrictions.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is controlling risk in CAS by clearly delimiting where weapons may be released and how forces will deconflict. A kill box serves as this risk management control by establishing a defined, deconflicted airspace where attacking aircraft can employ munitions under agreed procedures with ground forces and the JTAC/FAC-A. Inside the kill box, positive identification and coordination with friendly forces are emphasized, and fires are restricted to the designated area, which helps prevent fratricide, collateral damage, and confusion among air and ground elements. The other options describe actions that would bypass identification, loosen safety constraints, or ignore important protections (like altitude limits), all of which increase risk rather than manage it. So establishing a kill box is the typical risk management control used during CAS.
