Joint Force Targeting Duties and Responsibilities III-15 such as counterterrorism, WMD, infrastructure capabilities, and orders of battle. This may also include social networks, national communication means, or other key information networks. Responsible organizations conducting target development should also be responsible for performing assessments on the same capabilities and targets. (3) TSA, ETF, and JDPI production, weaponeering, CDEs, and physical and functional assessments are typically conducted in theater to the maximum extent possible. However, if federation is required, it should leverage the array of national agency, command, and service centers that are resourced and proficient in these areas. Specific targeting federation requirements are identified in command intelligence plans and supporting responsible organizations specified within related functional support plans. For both deliberate and crisis action planning, the NJOIC and the JS J-2 will work with the supported command, national agencies, and supporting service centers to form federated partnerships to synchronize use of available resources and capabilities. d. Intelligence Organizations and Supporting Agencies (1) In a federated environment, especially during crisis action planning, control is essential. The supported commander should establish a single point of contact for records and accountability. Careful administration of records can maximize the usage of analytical and productive resources available to support targeting. The following list of organizations includes potential partners in the production of target intelligence. It is neither all-inclusive, nor will all of these organizations necessarily support every combat operation. (2) DOD Organizations. The primary organizations within DOD include the JS, NJOIC, DIA, National Security Agency (NSA), National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), as well as the combatant commands. Other organizations within the DOD that provide unique capabilities to joint targeting efforts include DTRA, Joint Information Operations Warfare Center (JIOWC), United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM), and JWAC. The JS J-2 leads the national IC for target vetting. The community of interest for target vetting should include, as a minimum, JS J-2 and J-3, NJOIC, DIA, NSA, NGA, DTRA, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and NRO. (a) Joint Staff J-2. The JS J-2 is a unique organization in that it is a major component of DIA, which is a combat support agency, as well as a fully integrated element of the JS. The JS J-2 is the primary coordination element for national-level intelligence support to joint targeting. The JS J-2 functions as the lead agent for providing and coordinating national-level intelligence support to joint targeting. Specific JS J-2 targeting responsibilities include: 1. Providing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) and the JS J-3 with targeting, assessment, and technical support during deliberate and crisis action planning. 2. Providing target development and/or assessment federation through the JS Targeting and BDA Cell, if required.
