…These publications provide the bases for related joint training and joint professional military education that help joint forces conduct military operations as effectively and efficiently as possible even in difficult and dangerous circumstances. Characterizations also help…

…To extend the targeting enterprise to the edge user base, targeting automation must also be able to accommodate producers and consumers of information on low bandwidth, message-based environments. The following sections detail considerations associated with…

…The four CONUS- based functional unified commands—USSTRATCOM, USJFCOM, US Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), and US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM)— each has a JIOC. Each of these unified commands has a global outlook and, as such, is…

…The Air Force retains the word “object” due to the importance of object-based processes, such as OBP and object-based intelligence, which feed the targeting process. 9 See JP 2-0, Joint Intelligence, for additional…

…Intelligence analysis support to any operation involves separating useful information from misleading information, using experience and reasoning, and reaching an assessment or conclusion based on fact and/or sound judgment. The conclusion is based on the…

…Figure 5-15 is an example of how tactics and activities can change based on network density. Figure 5-15. Example to change in tactics based on density shifts

…TA consists of several component elements: › Physical damage assessment (PDA) estimates the extent of physical damage to a target based upon observation or empirically based interpretation. PDA involves cooperative effort between units in the field and…

…TARGETING RESPONSIBILITIES DURING FORMAL PLANNING Targeteers and other planners should keep the foregoing effects-based concepts in mind while building formal plans and conducting ongoing deliberate targeting once operations begin. Targeting supports every form of employment…

…Within an effects-based framework, targeting helps determine the most effective and efficient means of creating desired effects. Outside of an effects-based framework, targeting can quickly devolve into

…Army forces conduct operations based on all-source intelligence assessments and products developed by the intelligence staff. All-source intelligence is used to develop the intelligence products necessary to aid the commander’s situational understanding and…

…Target selection should be based upon desired effects against enemy COGs, which in turn should be based upon the objectives for the conflict. The JAOP should be effects-based. It is the air and space component…

…Presence can take the form of forward basing, forward deploying, or pre-positioning assets. Forward presence activities demonstrate our commitment, lend credibility to our alliances, enhance regional stability,

…Such predictions should be based on historical data on strike performance and analyses of likely success given the specific planned weapon/target pairings (e.g., JMEM data). Finally, assessors should continuously refine effects predictions based on…

3 The former are discussed in this document within an effects-based framework, covered in separate chapters on planning, execution, and assessment. A final chapter describes the continuous activities involved in targeting readiness and the responsibilities…

… Look for indicators based on the principle of mass. The enemy can be expected to conduct deception operations. However, deception operations are normally conducted as inexpensively as possible, attempting to deceive us with the least…

…Operational maneuver usually takes large forces from a base of operations to an area where they are in position to achieve operational objectives. The objective for operational maneuver is usually a COG or decisive point. (4…

…Recent conflicts have shown that victory can be achieved more effectively and efficiently through an effects-based approach that extends beyond just attrition. Although there may be occasions when attrition is a desired effect that supports…

13 At least as far back as World War II, some air planners were trying to implement the essential concepts of [an effects-based approach]. In the late 1930’s, particularly at the Air Corps Tactical…

…In some targeting methodologies, such as TSA discussed in Chapter Two, targeteers derive notional objectives based on tasks their theater is likely to receive and they base their target development on these objectives. Such a technique…

…If an indicator is a ploy (part of a deception plan), then conclusions based on it may be incorrect. Although indicators are clues that point toward threat activities, capabilities, vulnerabilities, or intentions, they may be deceptive…
