37 should not drive the nomination of targets—this is antithetical to an effects-based approach. The result of coordination is the JIPTL, which is submitted to the CFC or designated representative for approval. Again, targets may be added to no-strike or restricted target lists as a result of this part of the process, too. Determining collection and exploitation requirements through assessment is critical to targeting efforts. This stage attempts to answer the question, “how will we know we’ve achieved the desired effects?” by establishing intelligence collection and exploitation requirements for each nominated target. This stage begins with target analysis and runs parallel to the other stages. The requirements must be articulated early in the tasking process to support target development and ultimately assessment. Targeteers must work closely with collection managers to ensure that target development, pre-strike, and post-strike requirements are integrated into the collection plan, along with any changes that occur throughout the tasking cycle. This intelligence support is also required to prepare for future targeting during execution (e.g., to pre-task real time ISR assets) and to support post-strike assessment of success. Properly identifying collection and exploitation requirements is one of the keys to effective PBA. The product of this stage may be a joint integrated prioritized collection list (JIPCL). Products of the Phase The JIPTL is a prioritized list of targets and associated data approved by the CFC or designated representative and maintained by the joint force. An approved JIPTL is the central product of the target development phase. Targets and priorities are derived from the recommendations of components in conjunction with their proposed operations supporting the CFC’s objectives and guidance. Although it draws from many sources, the CPD TET has primary responsibility for the JIPTL within the CAOC. The JIPCL is a prioritized list of intelligence collection and exploitation requirements needed to support indications and warning, analysis, and future target development efforts and to measure whether desired effects and objectives are being achieved. Requirements and priorities are derived from the recommendations of components in conjunction with their proposed operations supporting the CFC’s objectives and guidance. An approved JIPCL may be a product of answering information gaps as well as the collection and exploitation requirements stage of target development. The ISRD has primary responsibility within the CAOC for the JIPCL, although considerable consultation with the SD OAT is required. The no strike list (NSL) is a list of geographic areas, complexes, installations, forces, equipment, capabilities, functions, individuals, groups, systems, or behaviors that will not have action planned against them Attacking these may violate LOAC or interfere with friendly relations with indigenous personnel or governments. Combatant commanders and JFCs determine which targets are included on the NSL based upon
