identifying targeting support and assessment partners or work directly with other combatant
commands to provide information to the JS regarding any inter-command targeting
coordination. The JS J-2 normally ensures that federated targeting support requirements are
addressed in contingency plans and orders and will assist in the dissemination of targeting
support-related information between the federated partners and the supported JFC.
b. Many organizations provide critical support to joint targeting. Federation establishes
partnerships and leverages appropriate expertise, allowing access to more actionable
information than would otherwise be available to JFCs and their staffs. It also provides for
an efficient division of labor and maximizes resources. Federation provides commands
conducting operations access to organizations and individuals that are experts in their
respective analytic areas. Federation allows supported commanders to request assistance
from outside the theater in such areas as:
(1) Target Development. TSA, target analysis, and production of ETFs, to include
supporting TM (e.g., graphics and specific data such as JDPIs).
(2) Capability Analysis. Weaponeering solutions, CDEs, and modeling and
simulation products.
(3) Assessment. Physical damage/change, functional damage/change, and target
system assessments.
c. Roles and Responsibilities
(1) Federated production planning takes place as part of the JFC’s deliberate and
crisis action planning. The J-2 conducts the intelligence planning process and develops the
intelligence plan as annex B (Intelligence) to the contingency plan or OPORD. The J-2
assesses the joint force organic tasking, collection, processing, exploitation, and
dissemination capabilities to support the JFC’s selected operations through all phases of
conflict. The joint force J-2 determines intelligence shortfalls and, working with the JS J-2
and combatant command (if required), begins to establish federated partnerships with other
intelligence organizations to address these shortfalls. Federated partnerships are formal
agreements between other theater JIOCs, Service intelligence centers, DOD intelligence
agencies, reserve intelligence elements, or other non-DOD intelligence agencies to assist
with the joint force J-2’s intelligence responsibilities. These agreements form the basis for
national intelligence functional support plans to appendix 4 (Targeting) to annex B
(Intelligence) for contingency plans and OPORDs, as well as all-source intelligence analysis
and production (e.g., linguistics and translation services, document and material exploitation,
counterintelligence, human intelligence [HUMINT], geospatial intelligence [GEOINT], and
signals intelligence [SIGINT] operations). Federation agreements and intelligence tasking
lists are formalized during intelligence plan development. The NJOIC and the JS J-2 assist
the joint force J-2 in establishing a federated targeting and assessment plan.
(2) Under the Defense Intelligence Analysis Program, there are designated
responsible organizations that are the experts for production and maintenance of analysis
relating to functional and topical capabilities and activities that typically concern planners,
