…Specific weights of effort should be avoided due to the difficulty in precisely measuring effects of air, space, and IO, and to allow maximum flexibility in planning the application of airpower. However the CPD can use…

…The result is a translation of the total weight of air effort into the total number or sorties or missions required to achieve desired effects. Although not complete until the MAAP is produced, force allocation also…

…This has two aspects that are relevant to the air tasking cycle: allocation of targets and allocation of forces. Weaponeering and allocation function together to produce the master air attack plan (MAAP); see “products of the…

…The air and space contribution to operational design/campaign planning is the JAOP. This planning may take place independently or in support of deliberate planning and may continue through CAP. The three processes are interrelated. All…

…TBMCS is a force-level, integrated air C2 system. TBMCS provides hardware, software, and communications interfaces to support the preparation, modification, and dissemination of the force-level air battle plan. TBMCS provides applications and communication interfaces…

102 Air Force Information Warfare Center is the Air Force center of excellence for IO. AFIWC produces IO analyses and data for combat operations and targeting (and acquisition programs as well). It also assesses IO vulnerabilities…

…However, as non-kinetic and non-lethal weapons continue to make their way into the Air Force inventory, targeteers will have to expand their thinking of what weaponeering is. Commanders can assist by ensuring targeteers have…

…During this stage, the AOC is the focal point for changes to the ATO and serves as the centralized control node for tasking joint air capabilities and forces. The AOC’s Combat Operations Division (COD) supervises…

…The JFC can establish support relationships among all functional and Service component commanders, such as for the coordination of operations in depth involving the joint force land component commander (JFLCC) and the joint force air component…
