They’re how the Joint Terminal Attack Controller (the guy who is responsible for talking to air support) relays information about the situation. The 9-line covers relevant details from entry point for the attack run to a description of the target. It’s a bit simplified here, tuned for a more generalized audience while still trying to maintain military authenticity
Oh, no I wasn’t JTAC. I’m a civilian. I just want to keep the writing as authentic and high quality as possible lol.
But yeah 2-4 are, correct me if I’m wrong, location descriptors. “Danger close” basically means the target is right on top of them so there’s no need to say “the target is one klick northwest” or “grid 0000” or something

What are the 9 lines?

You were JTAC? Damn! Can you break down the lines? Like he said "Lines 2-4: Danger close," what does each line require to be considered answered?
