What does URG stand for?

• A. Urban Reference Graphic
• B. Uniform Reference Graphic
• C. Unit Reference Graphic
• D. Ultimate Reference Graphic

Answer: (A)

URG stands for Urban Reference Graphic, a map-like overlay used in mission planning to depict urban features, landmarks, streets, and blocks so aircrews can orient themselves and coordinate close air support in built-up areas. This graphic provides a standardized visual reference for targeting, deconfliction, and communication with ground elements in urban environments. The other options aren’t standard terms used in this context, whereas Urban Reference Graphic directly matches the acronym and its role in urban planning and CAS coordination.
