Danger close in close air support, artillery, mortar, and naval gunfire support fires, is the term included in the method of engagement segment of a call for fire which indicates that friendly forces are within close proximity of the target. The close proximity distance is determined by the weapon and munition fired. Danger close does not restrict ground force manoeuvre or fires employment. It is simply a warning to both the manoeuvre commander and fire support personnel to take proper precautions because of the proximity of friendly forces (and possibility of increased risk).
Danger close method of engagement should not be confused with risk estimate distances (RED).
