Joint Force Targeting Duties and Responsibilities III-7 (a) Develops OA-wide joint targeting guidance, objectives, and priorities (normally accomplished in conjunction with component planners as part of the joint planning group [JPG]). (b) Coordinates, deconflicts, and validates target nominations at the JFC level and higher. (c) Coordinates component input to the JIPTL. Prioritizes and forwards the JIPTL to the JTCB for review and approval and then manages the approved JIPTL. (d) Coordinates, maintains, and disseminates a complete list of FSCMs within the OA to avoid friendly fire and deconflicts with other current or future operations, to include managing the RTL and NSL. (e) Develops the roles, functions, and agenda of the JTCB for JFC approval. (f) Organizes a strategy team to address intermediate targeting efforts to bridge the gap between current and future operations. (g) Recommends ISR collection requirements to include assisting the joint intelligence support element (JISE) in developing targets. (h) Develops the joint fires estimate and COAs. (i) Monitors TST and component-critical target operations for the J-3. Recommends procedures for engaging TSTs and component-critical targets. (j) Recommends HPTs to the JPG. (k) Coordinates joint fires and targeting ROE issues. (l) Develops collateral damage prevention procedures based on commanders’ guidance and higher level directives. (m) Conducts assessments of joint fires and targeting in coordination with higher headquarters and components. (4) Joint Targeting Working Group (a) To assist in the coordination and integration throughout the joint targeting process, the JFC may approve the formation of a JTWG. The JTWG supports the JTCB by conducting initial collection, consolidation, and prioritization of targets and synchronization of target planning and coordination on behalf of the JFC. The JTWG is an action officer level venue, chaired by the JFE chief, J-2 (chief of targets), or similar representative, and meets as required to consolidate and prioritize the draft JIPTL and discuss targeting integration and synchronization issues raised by the JFC, staff, planning teams, and the JFC’s major subordinate commands (see Figure III-3).
