True or False: C2 will use 7 NM for SWEZ point outs against a short-burn threat.

The statement is true because Command and Control (C2) utilizes a 7 nautical mile (NM) range for Surface Weapons Engagement Zone (SWEZ) point outs, particularly when dealing with short-burn threats. This distance is established to ensure that friendly forces are given ample warning and the necessary information to mitigate risks associated with threats that can engage quickly. Short-burn threats may engage within a shorter timeframe, making it critical for C2 to provide timely information to protect assets effectively.

The reference to 7 NM represents an optimal distance that balances risk management and the requirement for effective engagement. This practice is part of ensuring situational awareness and proactive threat management in dynamic operational environments.

Other options imply conditions or scenarios that do not align with the established protocols for SWEZ point outs, such as specifying the distance for long-burn threats or limiting to specific times or conditions which do not reflect the consistent application of the 7 NM rule for short-burn threats.
