6 THE TARGETING PROCESS Viewed generically, outside the context of overarching processes and the battle rhythm, the targeting process consists of the following general phases, most of which dovetail into the planning and tasking processes once…

…A staff organization operating under a flag or general officer providing a combatant commander with a full-time, trained joint command and control element integrated into the combatant commander’s staff whose focus is on contingency…

…TSTs generally receive the highest priority. If track continuity is lost, the fix step will likely have to be repeated (and potentially the find step as well). 4. Output of the track step: a. Track continuity…

…The Multiple Scenarios Generation technique proves extremely useful when used in conjunction with the counterfactual reasoning method. A-76. Morphological Analysis is a method for structuring and examining all the possible relationships within an unproven, dynamic…

…Other potential targets that are detected or become significant during the current execution period (once all formal products of the planning and tasking processes are issued), including the CFC’s TSTs, are dealt with using dynamic…

…This process is dynamic and continuously integrates new and existing data throughout the effort. It also ensures that all data goes through a criterion-based logical process of determining its value prior to updating existing assessments…

…While each HQ organizes to accommodate the nature of the JFC’s operational area, mission, tasks, and preferences, all generally follow a traditional functional staff alignment (i.e., personnel, intelligence, operations, logistics, plans, and communications) depicted…

…Functional characteristics generally include: (1) Target normal or reported activity. (2) Target status (state or condition at a given point in time [e.g., operational, inoperative]). (3) Degree, proportion, or percentage of functionality (e.g., function…

…The standard targeting framework revolves around the two core processes (deliberate and dynamic), the categories and types of targets managed within them, and the special considerations applied to targets of unique importance. DELIBERATE TARGETING (PLANNED) Deliberate…
