Air Force Doctrine Publication 3-60, Targeting 27 typically come from the ISRD’s TTA team. The purpose of the assessment phase is to determine the degree of success in achieving objectives, formulate any required follow-up actions, or indicate readiness to move on to new tasks on the path to achieving overall JFC objectives. Assessment can happen internal to the AOC, but reachback and federated partners can assist with post-attack target assessment. Ideally, the same units that provide support for target development should also assist with assessment, regardless of the means of attack. TARGETING AND THE AIR TASKING CYCLE KEY PROCESSES Overall, the targeting process is integral to the air tasking cycle. This systematic cycle focuses the air component staff and joint air efforts on accomplishing operational requirements through a framework that is both deliberate and dynamic. The Targeting and the Air Tasking Cycle graphic highlights key processes within the air tasking cycle related to targeting in support of the overall JFC guidance and intent. DYNAMIC TARGETING PROCESS Dynamic targeting is defined as targeting that prosecutes targets identified too late or not selected for action in time to be included in deliberate targeting. Dynamic targeting is a process and not a mission type.40 For the air component, the dynamic targeting process is typically coordinated by a dynamic targeting cell within the AOC’s COD; however, each AOC may have a unique dynamic targeting process based on JFACC targeting guidance and theater requirements. JADOCS is usually the collaboration tool used within the AOC 40 For further clarification of counterland missions versus the dynamic targeting process, see AFDP 3-03, Counterland Operations.
