Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is a combat support agency
responsible for planning, engineering, acquiring, fielding, and supporting global net-
centric solutions and operating the defense information system network. DISA seeks to
guarantee our forces global information dominance by providing jointly interoperable
systems that have assured security, survivability, availability, and superior quality.
Because of DISA’s expertise in developing, maintaining and protecting US information
methods, they may prove useful in developing targeting strategies to attack enemy
information methods and systems.
Unified Commands
Functional Unified Command Joint Intelligence Centers. The four CONUS-
based functional unified commands—USSTRATCOM, USJFCOM, US Transportation
Command (USTRANSCOM), and US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM)—
each has a JIOC. Each of these unified commands has a global outlook and, as such,
is capable of providing targeting and assessment support to combatant commands
worldwide in the areas of special operations, transportation, WMD, space, nuclear
forces, and information warfare, to name a few.
Joint Warfare Analysis Center. Subordinate to USJFCOM, JWAC provides
planners with specialized lines of communications analysis for use in developing
targeting strategies. JWAC provides innovative and accurate engineering and
modeling-based targeting options with an understanding of risks and consequences,
including collateral damage estimates.
Joint Information Operations Center. Subordinate to USSTRATCOM, this center
is responsible for the integration of IO into military plans and operations across the
spectrum of conflict. The center provides direct command and control warfare (C2W)
tactical and technical analytical support to operational commanders. The center
supports the integration of operations security, psychological operations, military
deception, electronic warfare and destruction throughout the planning and execution
phases of the operations. Direct support is provided to unified commands, JTFs,
functional and service components, and subordinate combat commanders. The center
maintains specialized expertise in C2W systems engineering, operational applications,
capabilities and vulnerabilities.
Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC). JSpOC is the primary USSTRATCOM
interface for space effects to the supported commander, to include all aspects of
deliberate planning, crisis action planning, adaptive campaign planning and the air
tasking cycle. The JSpOC is responsible for analyzing and targeting enemy space
capabilities in support of theaters in addition to their global mission. JSpOC targeteers
can evaluate theater AODs and nominate specific space-related targets to meet a
theater commander’s objectives
Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munitions Effectiveness (JTCG/ME) is
a vital joint service activity that develops operational effectiveness estimates for all non-
