Air Force Doctrine Publication 3-60, Targeting 34 APPENDIX B: TARGETING SUPPORT AGENCIES Support organizations and agencies to provide the air component with in-depth knowledge and targeting expertise. Since theater forces typically cannot fulfill all targeting and assessment requirements internally, multiple organizations collaborate to facilitate the targeting process via federated, reachback, and general analytic support to target intelligence. The following list includes potential partners for this support. This list is not all-inclusive, nor will all these organizations necessarily support every operation. AIR FORCE AF/A2 and AF/A3 are the focal points for coordinating the USAF’s targeting and assessment reachback support. AF A2 provides oversight of USAF targeting policy, administration, and readiness, including AF TCM and CDE training programs. Additionally, these organizations are executive members of the Military Targeting Committee (MTC) Executive Steering Committee (ESC). National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) is the USAF’s service intelligence center and a field operating agency that reports directly to the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence (HAF A2). NASIC produces integrated and predictive air, space, and specialized intelligence supporting military operations while also enabling forces to avoid technological surprise by countering existing and evolving air and space threats. Air Combat Command (ACC) is the lead command for integrating, synchronizing, and advocating USAF targeting requirements. They also organize, train, equip, and present assigned forces and capabilities to joint warfighters. ACC/A2 plays a large part in coordinating reachback support for the targeting process. Sixteenth Air Force (16 AF) leverages ISR, cyberspace operations, electromagnetic warfare, weather, public affairs, and information capabilities to provide multi-source intelligence, targeting support, and mission integration support to the USAF targeting enterprise, as well as mission integration at the operational and tactical levels via the 616th Operations Center (616 OC). The 363d ISRW is the USAF’s lead wing for targeting. It provides operations planning and execution support to major commands, component numbered air forces, and theater AOCs. The 363 ISRG, formerly known as the Air Force Targeting Center, executes targeting functions, including intelligence and nonlethal targeting support, through end-to-end analysis and production. Subordinate 363 ISRG units also include Air Force Reserve Command and Air National Guard targeting units that provide steady-state and surge-to-war target production and analysis capability accomplished through the use of imagery analysts, targeteering analysts, signals analysts, all-source analysts, and intelligence applications. The 363 ISRW also executes additional targeting functions through the 365 ISRG, including exercise support and direct intelligence support to United States Air Force Central Command (USAFCENT). The 480th ISRW is the lead wing for the AF DCGS and provides national cryptologic, information technology, cyberspace ISR, tactical analysis, DOF, air component command
