When shouldering a COI, how much should the react vessel redirect the COI from its intended course to the HVA?

7 degrees
14 degrees
21 degrees
28 degrees

The correct answer is: 14 degrees

When shouldering a Course of Interest (COI), the strategic redirection of the vessel is crucial for effectively engaging a High-Value Asset (HVA). A redirection of 14 degrees from its intended course is considered optimal because it allows for sufficient deviation to alter the path of the COI while still maintaining tactical control and an effective engagement posture. This degree of adjustment provides a balance between maneuverability and the need to remain within operational guidelines, ensuring that the react vessel does not become susceptible to counter-measures or lose sight of its target. Redirecting more than 14 degrees risks complications such as losing track of the COI or straying too far from the operational plan, which could compromise the mission's success. This approach reflects best practices in operational maneuvering, where flexibility and adaptability in response to changing tactical environments are paramount.
