Joint Force Targeting Duties and Responsibilities III-5 6. Reviewing and refining ISR collection requirements and joint ISR assessment guidance based on JFC priorities and intent, to include refinement of MOPs and MOEs, as appropriate. 7. Reviewing and submitting the coordinated JIPTL for JFC approval or serving as approving authority for JIPTL when designated by the JFC. 8. Ensuring the JTL, NSL, RTL, and other relevant target lists are maintained and updated based on JFC guidance. 9. Reviewing, validating, and approving targets to the JTL and RTL when such authorities are delegated to the JTCB by the JFC. (f) JTCB Scope and Focus. The JTCB’s focus is to develop broad targeting priorities and other targeting guidance in accordance with the JFC’s objectives as they relate operationally. The JTCB must be flexible to address targeting issues, but should not become over-involved in tactical-level decision making. In order to function as effectively and efficiently as possible, the JTCB requires a focused agenda to guide the daily conduct of business. A notional JTCB agenda is outlined in Figure III-2. In breaking the meeting into four parts, the JTCB may address at least four planning horizons. 1. Assessment. The first session is a review of completed operation (for example, the last 24 hours), focusing on the operational level and progress toward the JFC’s objectives. It should include an intelligence forecast of anticipated adversary action for future operations planning considerations. 2. JFC Intent. The second portion of the board should consist of broad guidance for future plans, given by the JTCB’s chairman. 3. Component Schemes of Maneuver. The third portion should review components’ detailed operational-level schemes of maneuver for the future operations. Broad targeting guidance and priorities should be refined as appropriate in this portion of the meeting. 4. Joint Maneuver and Fires. The final portion of the board should review the next 24 hours plan for maneuver, fires, and targeting. More specific targeting issues may be addressed here if not previously resolved as part of deliberate targeting. Such issues may include TSTs, target restrictions, dynamic targeting priorities, priorities for certain weapons (e.g., cruise missiles), and collection and assessment issues. This is the final review of the next day’s plan to ensure it is still valid. This is the JTCB’s final chance to recommend modification to targeting priorities before execution. (g) JFC (or designated representative) approval for the next day’s JIPTL and related products is usually sought immediately upon adjournment of the JTCB and then promulgated in message format throughout the joint force.
