Chapter III III-2 JP 3-60 design must be able to identify adversary critical vulnerabilities and execute all phases of joint targeting efficiently and continuously. e. Other Considerations. Offensive military activities (e.g., electronic attack, offensive cyberspace operations, and information-related capabilities) should be coordinated and deconflicted with the joint targeting process. f. Targeting Integration via Joint and Component Operations Centers. The joint intelligence operations center (JIOC), JOC, and/or component command centers plan for and conduct operations. Targeting mechanisms should exist at multiple levels. Joint force components identify requirements, nominate targets that are outside their boundaries or exceed the capabilities of organic or supporting assets (based on the JFC’s apportionment decision), and conduct execution planning. After the JFC makes the targeting and apportionment decisions, components plan and execute assigned missions through their respective operations centers. The theater air ground system is normally the C2 structure through which targeting should be integrated.

Joint Force Targeting Responsibilities a. JFC Responsibilities (1) The JFC has the responsibility to conduct planning, coordination, and deconfliction associated with joint targeting. Joint targeting coordination responsibilities for the JFC include: (a) Establish parameters for successful targeting within the JFC’s OA by promulgating intent, objectives, guidance, sequencing, and priorities. (b) The JFC assigned as the supported commander will provide early, broad, and clear targeting guidance to components and supporting commands and DOD agencies consistent with the operation’s end state. (c) Maintain currency of mission planning guidance, intent, and priority intelligence requirements (PIRs) throughout the operation. (d) Direct the formation, composition, and specific responsibilities of a JFE and JTCB (if required). (e) Approve or delegate approval of the JIPTL developed from component and staff nominations.
