True or False: JTACs/FAC(A)s should respond to readbacks of a CAS brief with just "readback correct" or "good readback".

The correct response is that it is false to say that JTACs/FAC(A)s should only respond with "readback correct" or "good readback." Proper communication following a Close Air Support (CAS) brief includes more than just confirming that the readback is accurate. A comprehensive response from the JTAC or FAC(A) is essential for ensuring clarity and understanding between all parties involved in the operation.

When a CAS brief is read back, the JTAC/FAC(A) is responsible for confirming not only that the readback is correct but also for providing any necessary additional information, clarity on mission urgency, or adjustments based on the changing battlefield environment. This includes addressing any discrepancies and ensuring that all critical elements of the brief are fully understood.

Effective communication is integral to preventing misunderstandings during high-stakes operations, making it important for JTACs/FAC(A)s to engage in detailed communication rather than simply affirming a correct readback.
