…Effective CID supports force protection and enhances operations by providing confidence throughout the force in the accuracy of CID characterizations. Effective CID procedures help minimize fratricide and collateral damage. (a) Depending on operational requirements, CID characterization…

Chapter I I-14 JP 3-0 what purpose major forces will be employed and to influence the adversary’s disposition before combat. Operational art governs the deployment of those forces and the arrangement of operations…

…Effective BDA requires a coordinated and integrated effort between joint force intelligence and operations functions. BDA is composed of physical damage/change assessment, functional damage/change assessment, and target system assessment, typically taking a three-phased…

…Failure to do so can cause the joint force to lose momentum, miss an important opportunity, experience a significant setback, or even fail to accomplish the mission. Conversely, successful transition can allow the joint force to…

…Phase 4—Commander’s Decision and Force Assignment (1) The force assignment process integrates previous phases of joint targeting and fuses capabilities analysis with available forces, sensors, and weapons systems. Figure II-7 provides a graphic…

…If, for example, enemy military forces have taken up position in a building that otherwise would be regarded as a civilian object, such as a school, retail store, or museum, the building has become a military…

…Ideally, deterrent forces should be able to conduct decisive operations immediately. However, if committed forces lack the combat power to conduct decisive operations, they conduct defensive operations while additional forces deploy. Effective deterrence requires a security…

The Joint Targeting Cycle II-15 (3) All estimates generated during this phase are situation-specific, reflecting the pairing of forces against targets under particular conditions of employment. As such, users of this information must use…

Functional Characteristics. These are features that describe what…

…The capabilities analysis and force assignment phases of the joint targeting cycle are closely related. The primary purpose of capabilities analysis is to maximize the employment efficiency of forces through application of enough force to create…

…During sustained combat operations, JFCs simultaneously employ conventional and special operations forces and capabilities throughout the breadth and depth of the operational area. Some missions and operations (i.e., strategic attack, interdiction, and information operations) continue…

…Joint Targeting Cycle Phase 4— Commander’s Decision and Force Assignment The force assignment process integrates previous phases of joint targeting and fuses capabilities analysis with available forces, sensors, and weapons systems. The process of resourcing…

…For additional guidance on CID, refer to JP 3-09, Joint Fire Support. (8) Force Health Protection. FHP complements force protection efforts, and includes all measures taken by the JFC and the Military Health System to…

…When the importance of a target rises to such a level that it poses (or soon will pose) a danger to friendly forces, or it presents a highly lucrative, fleeting opportunity of tactical advantage, the JFC…

…The composition of joint force staffs should reflect the composition of the joint force to ensure that those responsible for employing joint forces have thorough knowledge of their capabilities and limitations. When possible, JFCs and their…
