Air Force Information Warfare Center is the Air Force center of excellence for IO.
AFIWC produces IO analyses and data for combat operations and targeting (and
acquisition programs as well). It also assesses IO vulnerabilities of units and conducts
adversary IO operation and vulnerability assessments.
National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) is the sole national center for
integrated intelligence analysis on air and space systems, forces, and threats. It
assesses current and projected foreign air and space capabilities and intentions,
develops targeting and mission planning intelligence materials, and evaluates evolving
technologies of potential adversaries. Such technical information is useful in
determining how to create specific effects on specific targets and target systems. In
addition to expertise on worldwide air assets, NASIC also has leading experts on long-
range surface-to-surface missiles (such as medium-range and intercontinental ballistic
missiles).
Air Force Space Command
Air Force Space Command has deep expertise in space operations. Such
information can prove useful when analyzing and targeting enemy space capabilities.
Targeteers at the joint space operations center (JSpOC) evaluate theater AODs and
nominate specific space-related targets to meet a theater commander’s objectives.
Their expertise is invaluable when analyzing and targeting enemy space capabilities.
Air Mobility Command (AMC)
AMC Intelligence maintains databases on airfields worldwide in the event AMC
must utilize those bases. Such information may be useful when targeting enemy
airfields.
Air Force Materiel Command
Air Armaments Center (AAC) is responsible for the development, acquisition,
testing, deployment, and sustainment of all non-nuclear air-delivered weapons. The
information they provide may be beneficial during weaponeering and conducting
munitions effectiveness assessments.
JOINT AND NATIONAL CONUS-BASED SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS
Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS)
J-2 Intelligence Directorate, Deputy Director for Targeting (J2T). The J-2 is the
national level focal point for crisis intelligence to support military operations as well as
indications and warning. J2T is the coordinator for all joint and national federation
needs of a unified command or JTF. CAOC targeteers should coordinate their
federation needs with the MAJCOM or NAF A-2, who will then coordinate with the
