Time On Target

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A time on target or (TOT) is the approximate estimation of when an artillery bombardment or an air strike will strike the intended target. This is given to the soldier or officer who requests a bombardment or an air strike. A shorter TOT usually means a smaller or less important target, and less guns or planes being fired or sent. A longer TOT means that the target is large or extremely important, so prepations for a massive bombardment or air strike will take longer.
