…As a general rule, the level at which a specific operation, task, or action is directed should be the level at which such activity is assessed. To do this, JFCs and their staffs consider assessment ways…

…In general, targets are defined by five characteristics: physical, functional, cognitive control and information, environmental, and temporal.11 Physical. These are features discernible to one or more of the five senses or through sensor-derived signature…

…Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) is a field operating agency under the administrative guidance and oversight of the Inspector General of the Air Force (SAF/IG). It is a federal law enforcement agency, and…

…Commanders should seek to minimize fratricide while not limiting boldness and initiative. 15. Considerations for Dominance a. General. JFCs conduct sustained combat operations when a “coup de main” is not possible. During sustained combat operations, JFCs…

…The following considerations distinguish stability operations in general and targeting during them in particular: › There will be a greater emphasis on non-kinetic actions and peaceful uses of air and space power, such as air mobility…

…OPLANs for contingencies that support the CCDR’s TCP generally do not include security COMMON OPERATING PRECEPT Plan for and manage operational transitions over time and space.

…The same general analytic process applies for nonindustrial target systems. For example, the components of a ballistic missile target system might include missile transporter erector launchers, resupply vehicles, C2 links and nodes, meteorological radars, missile fuel…

…Each of these intelligence disciplines are integral components of the Army’s multidiscipline intelligence support to operations and routinely use information and intelligence generated within the other disciplines to aid the analytical effort. The intelligence analysis…

…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…

…Maritime forces operating in littoral areas can dominate coastal areas and rapidly generate high intensity offensive power at times and in locations required by JFCs. Maritime forces’ relative freedom of action enables JFCs to position these…

…A general term applied to a combatant commander, subunified commander, or combined task force commander authorized to exercise combatant command (command authority) or operational control over a joint force. Also called CFC. (JP 1–02) command…

…The process also takes into account such things as friendly objectives, CONOPS, ROE, target time constraints, and friendly force capabilities to create five general types of products: › Target nomination lists that achieve desired effects in order…

…Commanders draw on operational art to mitigate the challenges of complexity and uncertainty, leveraging their knowledge, experience, judgment, and intuition to generate a clearer understanding of the conditions needed to focus effort and achieve success. Operational…

…These common physical characteristics are generally discernible to the five senses or through sensor-derived signatures and may shape or influence the selection of the type and number of weapons, the weapon systems, and the methods…
