…For example, weapons requirements will drive significant portions of theater logistics planning efforts. The capabilities analysis and force assignment phases of the joint targeting cycle are closely related. The primary purpose of capabilities analysis is to…

…In the extreme, major operations or a theater campaign may occur within a theater concurrently with a separate or related global campaign (such as OEF and OIF). CCDRs should pay particular attention to synchronizing and integrating…

96 APPENDIX B FEDERATED SUPPORT TO TARGETING AND ASSESSMENT INTRODUCTION Targeting and assessment requirements are typically more than theaters can support internally, due to deficiencies in manpower and specialized expertise. Thus, in practice, targeting is federated…

…The planning, tasking, and targeting processes are flexible enough to provide solutions in situations ranging from limited-scope, quick-reaction tactical operations to broad multiple-theater campaigns. In all situations, this primary focus is to assist…

…For instance, a JAOP that is created as part of a theater CFACC’s campaign planning done in support of deliberate planning efforts may be taken “off the shelf” and used in CAP as a particular…

…For example, adversaries may use the same aircraft and munitions regardless of theater. Many nations have similar weaponry, even if how they use them differs. Also, as CAOCs become more standardized, the opportunity to learn lessons…

…When these forces and actions are not sufficient, follow-on strikes and/or the deployment of forces from CONUS or another theater and/or the use of multinational forces may be necessary. Consequently, the CCDR must…

…JTFs and components that are likely to be employed in theater operations should be exercised regularly during peacetime. Staffs should be identified and trained for planning and controlling joint and multinational operations. The composition of joint…

…They must also be familiar with the standard conventional load platforms in their theater and delivery tactics. Weaponeering results will only be useful if the employment parameters assumed in weaponeering match those used in combat. Targeteers…

43 communications plan, general instructions for inter- and intra-theater airlift, and so on. It may also include the ACO. The ACO provides direction to deconflict, coordinate, and integrate the use of airspace within the operational…

…These time periods may vary from theater to theater and much targeting effort may not be bound specifically to the cycle’s timeframe, but the tasking cycle and its constituent processes drive the CAOC’s battle…

…This requires the integration of theater and national source information. The theater JIOC has access to these sources and provides significant support. SIGINT, GEOINT, and MASINT sources are also useful. 4. Often, BDA analysts have relatively…

…Much of the intelligence that was created for and sent to specific theaters in years past is now disseminated to the world via the net. Peacetime federation, therefore, is often informal. During hostilities, however, formal relationships…

…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…
