The TTLODAC memory aid stands for which of the following?

• A. Target, Time, Location, Operator, Delivery, Action, Communications
• B. Target, Trigger, Location, Observer, Delivery, Attack Guidance, Communications
• C. Target, Trigger, Location, Objective, Delivery, Attack Guidance, Communications
• D. Target, Trigger, Location, Observer, Delivery, Attack, Communications

Answer: (B)

TTLODAC is a quick checklist used before directing a fire or strike to ensure all critical elements are covered. Target identifies who or what is to be engaged. Trigger is the event that starts the engagement, such as a command or sensor cue, ensuring proper timing. Location pinpoints where the engagement will occur, including coordinates and boundaries to avoid. Observer designates the person or asset responsible for watching and providing confirmation or battle damage assessment. Delivery refers to the weapon system or payload that will deliver the effect. Attack Guidance describes how the engagement is directed—what method or fire-control mechanism will guide the attack to the target. Communications covers the plan for transmitting orders, updates, and confirmations among all participants to maintain coordination and safety. This combination of elements captures everything needed to plan, direct, and coordinate a controlled engagement, which is why it matches TTLODAC.
