…If there are at least two competing views within an analytic office, then Team A/Team B analysis can be the appropriate technique to use to clarify the issue. Analysts or the analytic team leader applies…

…See Military Standard- 2525C, Common Warfighting Symbology, for additional guidance on the use and discussion of graphic control measures and symbols for the joint force. (4) Communications and ISR systems provide communications, ISR, targeting, and ballistic…

…To be useful as a gauge of effectiveness, a measure, whether an MOP, MOE, or SI, must be meaningful, reliable, and either observable or capable of being reliably inferred. Meaningful means it must be tied, explicitly…

Joint Force Targeting Duties and Responsibilities III-19 transfer, or use of WMD and related materials and precursors by adversaries (i.e., to combat WMD). The SCC-WMD director is dual-hatted as the director of…

…Both nodes and links are symbolic representations meant to simplify the complexity of the real world; they are useful in identifying centers of gravity, critical nodes, and other lines of effort the command may wish to…

…Furthermore, because the pairings of capabilities against targets are made using nominal weapon and weapon system performance data, there may be divergences with more current and/or specific data used by unit-level planners. Making the…

FOREWORD Time and time again in the last several decades, air and space power has proven among the most powerful of weapons in the nation’s military arsenal, deciding some conflicts outright and enabling us to…

…Responsibility for the research lies primarily, but not solely, with the ISRD, which uses federated aid and reachback (see Chapter Five and Appendix B) to ensure that the CAOC obtains, analyzes, and disseminates the information it…

…JFCC-GS optimizes planning, execution, and force management for the assigned missions of deterring attacks against the US, its territories, and installations. 5. United States Strategic Command Center for Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (SCC-WMD…

…If the questions we are trying to answer, the information we are using, the inferences we are making, and the assumptions that guide our thinking are unclear, we cannot determine whether they are accurate, relevant, logical…

…Both qualitative and quantitative metrics should be used to avoid unsound or distorted results. Metrics can either be inductive (using sensors or personnel to directly observe the battlespace and build SA cumulatively) or deductive (using indirect…

…These are planned targets upon which fires are determined using the deliberate targeting process and executed using the dynamic targeting process. This means these targets have dedicated capabilities listed against them on the ATO; however, no…

…Computer network exploitation is a form of surveillance and reconnaissance conducted in cyberspace that involves the use of computer networks to gather data from target or adversary automated information systems or networks. (3) CI and Human…

…This may require implementing a sensor network or diverting ISR assets from other uses to examine it. The CFACC may have to make the decision on whether diversion of ISR resources from the established collection plan…

…It may also contain information regarding what weapons may be used, (like cluster bombs or anti-personnel mines) the conditions for use and approval authority for their use. Where ROE Are Found. ROE may be found…

…However, deliberate targeting can be used against mobile targets, especially when the target is in a defensive posture and may be in positions for long periods of time. On-call missions can be used against fixed…

…Unlike deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning can be a new source of knowledge; however, to be used correctly, the analyst must be wary that their personal bias may skew the results. Inductive reasoning is dependent upon accurate…

…For instance, NGA produce daily imagery for use in target development. They produce this imagery because that is what sensors have taken pictures of. CAOC planners can coordinate with NGA to obtain these products, but they…
