…Within their AOs, commanders perform intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (known as ISR) as part of their collection efforts. They perform these tasks and conduct operations to maintain current and accurate common operational pictures of their AOs…

…In this step, planners assign forces, munitions, nonlethal capabilities and ISR assets to specific targets and aimpoints. They develop force packages, assign supporting assets, and resolve timing, sequencing, and deconfliction issues. Operational limitations may require modification…

…during the target development phase of the joint targeting process (with appropriate advance intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance [ISR] tasking) and once detected they may be prosecuted using the find, fix, track, target, engage, and assess (F2T2EA…

…The JFC may designate the JFACC as the supported commander for strategic attack, air interdiction, and airborne ISR (among other missions) who is responsible to the JFC for planning, coordinating, executing, and assessing these missions. When…

…Once the crisis is defined, these actions may include mobilization, tailoring of forces, and other predeployment activities; initial deployment into a theater; employment of ISR assets; and development of mission-tailored C2, intelligence, force protection, and…

…The A3 can also represent the air component commander’s prioritized target equities to the JFC, the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) enterprise, and national agencies. In some cases, the A3 will directly oversee the AOC…

…The AOD provides detailed, logical lists of effects-based tasks, ISR collection requirements, target prioritization, and guidance on considerations for TSTs. Measure of performance (MOP) and measures of effectiveness (MOE) are typically listed for collection requirements…

…IPB is the first “pillar” of PBA, which provides a comprehensive framework for ISR support to planning and COA selection. Consequently, IPB must assist commanders in anticipating enemy intent and enable them in pre-empting enemy…

…Space capabilities help shape the operational environment in a variety of ways including providing ISR and communications necessary for keeping commanders and leaders informed worldwide. JFCs and their components should request space support early in the…

…Many times during execution, it is not possible to wait on ISR verification of strike results without inordinately delaying higher-level assessments. EDA is the technique of using existing munitions effectiveness or other data to estimate…

…An area of interest serves to focus ISR support for monitoring enemy, adversary, or other activities outside the operational area that may affect current and future operations. The commander can describe this area graphically, but the…

…The intent is to cause adversary commanders to form inaccurate impressions about friendly force dispositions, capabilities, vulnerabilities, and intentions; misuse their ISR assets; and/or fail to employ combat or support units to their best advantage…

…When selecting assessment measures, planners must identify the essential elements of information required to collect against them and provide guidance in the collection plan and JIPCL if special ISR or other PBA resources are needed. These…

…The find, fix, track, and assess steps tend to be ISR-intensive, while the target and engage steps are typically labor-, force-, and decision making- intensive. Whether dynamic or deliberate targeting is used the next phase…

…This intelligence support is also required to prepare for future targeting during execution (e.g., to pre-task real time ISR assets) and to support post-strike assessment of success. Properly identifying collection and exploitation requirements…

…The act of monitoring does not serve each level of assessment discretely, but serves all forms of assessment simultaneously, even though certain ISR platforms are collecting against specific requirements. Monitoring requires extensive expertise from a wide…

…More commonly, the risk associated with dynamic targeting involves the trade-off of diverting ISR and strike assets from already- scheduled missions to emerging targets. This should only be done when commanders’ priority given to the…

…of the components. › Macro-level review and guidance on joint maneuver and fires (including especially targeting and ISR priorities) over the next 24 hours, to help guide joint dynamic targeting efforts for the upcoming execution period…

…Upon execution of the collections plan, ISR assets detect HPTs and firing units deliver fires on them in accordance with the commander’s guidance. Assessment reporting allows the staff to continually assess adversary and friendly capabilities…
