…These characteristics describe what the target does and how it does it. They describe the target’s function within a greater target system, how the target or target system operates, its level of activity, the status…

…This theory requires three entities (you, the dog, and the lock-picking intruder) and several actions (picking the lock, entering the house, releasing the dog, hiding the evidence, relocking the door). It also requires us to…

…Working within this generic phasing construct, the actual phases will vary (e.g., compressed, expanded, or omitted entirely) according to the nature of the operation and the JFC’s decisions. During planning, the JFC establishes conditions…

…OIF has shown that adjacent GCCs can, at the direction of SecDef, conduct supporting operations within the AOR of the supported commander, or within their own AORs, under the overall direction of the supported GCC. (3…

…Timelines aid in the identification of patterns and correlations between events. The tool allows the analyst to relate seemingly random events to the big picture to highlight or identify significant changes or assist in the discovery…

Chapter III III-6 JP 3-60 (h) The JTCB is concerned with future operations, not the current battle. Operators already have the current day’s targeting plan(s) in hand and are preparing to execute…

…The A2 coordinates and collaborates with the JFC J-2 and the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance division (ISRD) for issues impacting the JCMB and JTCB. AFFOR A3. The AFFOR A3 supports the air component commander in…

…This assessment must include an estimation of the time required for recuperation or replacement of the target’s function. BDA analysts need to compare the desired effect for the attack with the current status of the…

31 AOD is the vehicle for the CFACC to express his intent for a specific day and communicate the CFC’s apportionment decision. Apportionment guidance should reflect prioritized operational objectives and relevant tactical tasks with approximate…

…The size of these operational areas and the types of forces employed within them depend on the scope and nature of the mission and the projected duration of operations. b. Combatant Command-Level Areas. GCCs conduct…

…BDA measures the effect of target engagements at three levels: the target element level (commonly called phase 1 BDA), the target level (phase 2 BDA), and the target system level (phase 3 BDA). MEA measures the…

…This process builds upon the analysis performed in target development, both for information that characterizes the physical, functional, and behavioral vulnerability of the target and for a connecting thread of logic to the JFC’s objectives…

The Joint Targeting Cycle II-11 the use of terrain, camouflage, emission controls, passive, and active defenses to negate friendly efforts to affect adversary activity. f. Physical characteristics are analyzed to determine the target’s susceptibility…

…A federated target development and assessment process can provide reachback support to the JFC and component commanders during the joint targeting cycle. Under a collaborative federated architecture, the supported JFC works in conjunction with the National…

The Targeting Assessment Process D-9 target elements means an assessment cell can provide an estimate of success refined with the latest available information. As more definitive data becomes available, the assessment becomes less of an…

…The JFC should provide the operational direction and guidance to focus the targeting process for the joint operation area (JOA). The JFC should establish the division of JTC responsibilities among the JFC staff and component commanders…

…Target vetting leverages the expertise of the national intelligence community to verify the accuracy and fidelity of the intelligence and analysis used to develop the target. Additionally, vetting reviews individual targets’ compliance with the LOAC and…

…As you research the problem, ensure the relevant information is listed with the date or order in which it occurred. Analysts should ensure they properly reference the data.  Step 2. Review the chronology, or timeline…

65 as shifting the priority of air and space targeting, changing the overall weight of effort, transitioning to another operational phase, or branch initiation. OA is primarily a component responsibility. Again, in the more traditional assessment…

…Weaponeering identifies the whole range of engagement options that may affect the target and highlights or selects the most appropriate engagement capabilities commensurate with desired effects for each phase of the campaign. Targeteers quantify the expected…
