TARGETING RESPONSIBILITIES DURING FORMAL PLANNING Targeteers and other planners should keep the foregoing effects-based concepts in mind while building formal plans and conducting ongoing deliberate targeting once operations begin. Targeting supports every form of employment planning for joint operations. Joint operations planning employs an integrated process for orderly and coordinated problem solving and decision-making. In its peacetime application, the process is highly structured to support the thorough and fully coordinated development of contingency plans. In crisis, the process is shortened as needed to support the dynamic requirements of changing events. In wartime, the process adapts to accommodate greater decentralization of joint operation planning activities. Joint operation planning is conducted through one of the three following processes. › Contingency planning is conducted principally in peacetime to develop joint operation plans for contingencies identified in strategic planning documents. It prepares for possible contingencies based on the best available information and uses forces and resources apportioned in strategic planning documents. It relies heavily on assumptions about political and military circumstances that will exist when the plan is implemented. › Crisis action planning (CAP) is based on current events and is conducted in time- sensitive situations and emergencies using assigned, attached, and allocated forces and resources (i.e., is based on actual circumstances vice assumptions). This planning is more flexible and responsive to changing events. › Operational Design/Cam- paign Planning tran- slates national and theater strategy into strategic and operational concepts through develop- ment of plans for theater campaigns.They embody that commander's stra- tegic vision for the arrangement of related operations necessary to attain theater strategic objectives. Portions of this process are often delegated to compo- nents, which create plans to support the Figure 2.1. The Joint Air and Space Estimate Process Mission Analysis Intelligence Preparation of the battlespace (IPB) is initiated. Stage focuses on analyzing the joint force commander’s mission and guidance to produce air and space component mission statement Situation and COA Development IPB is refined to include adversary COAs. Adversary and friendly COGs are analyzed. Multiple air and space COAs or one COA with significant branches and sequels are developed COA Analysis Friendly COAs are wargamed against adversary COAs COA Comparison Wargaming results are used to compare COAs against predetermined criteria COA Selection Decision brief to the JFACC with COA recommendation.
