Army Targeting Flashcards

1
Q

What is Targeting

A

The process of selecting targets and matching the appropriate response to them, considering operational requirements and capabilities.

Targeting is the process of fusing Intel and Ops

Targeting is used to focus effects to achieve the commander’s intent

Q

What is the challenge?

How do we overcome it?

A
  • Conduct thorough IPB
  • Striect adherence to various processes like TVA, COG Analysis, CARVER
  • PIRs must be tied to a decision point
  • (Fusion) S2 &S3 must coordinate the collection effort and targeting effort

Q

What are the positive effects of target management?

A

Offensive Operations

  • Applies constant pressure on the Adversary Operational cycle
  • Targets entire insurgent movement vs. individuals

Precision Targeting

  • develops an adaptive offensive strategy that is effects-based and applies operational patience for higher gains
  • Minimizes collateral disruption among the populace and creates IO opportunities
  • Identifies Intel gaps
  • Prioritizes and synergizes operational effort

Long term implication: Allows forces to Identify, Target, and Destroy cells and networks

Q

What are the Targeting Principles

A

It should increase the probability of creating desired effects

1) Focused: on achieving the CDRs objective
2) Effects Based: through lethal and nonlethal actions
3) Interdisciplinary: A CMD function that requires the participation of many disciplines
4) Systematic: seeks to achieve effects through lethal and nonlethal actions in a systematic manner
5) Directs: Targeting directs lethal and nonlethal actions to create desired effects

Q

What are Target Characteristics

A

Physical: Discernible to the five senses

Functional: What the target does and how it does it

Cognitive: How target process information or exercise control functions

Evironmental: Effect of the envirnoment on the target

Temporal: Targets vuneralbility to detection, attack, or other engagement in relation to the time available

Q

Deliberate Vs Dynamic

A

Deliberate: prosecutes planned targets

  • Scheduled
  • On-call

Dynamic: targets of opportunity and changes to planned targets or objectives

  • Unplanned
  • Unanticipated

Q

D3A

A

Decide: Provides overall focus and sets priorities for intel collection and attack planning

  • HPTL
  • ISR plan
  • TSS
  • AGM

Detect: Determines accurate, identifiable, and timely requirements for collection systems. Focus on HPTs and PIRs

  • Target Development: MOE/MOP
  • Vetting: assesses the accuracy of the supporting intel
  • Validation: meets the objectives and is in compliance with the LOW and ROE

Deliver: Executes the target guidance and supports the CDRs battle plan once the HPTs are located and identified

  • Desired effect
  • Weapon system to be used
  • Potential for Collateral damage

Assess: Determines the effectiveness of force employment MOE/MOP

Q

What is a COG

Explain COG Analysis

A

COG: a source of power that provides moral or physical strength, freedom of action, or will to act

Identify Critical Capabilities: necessary for the COG to function (usually a verb)

Identify Critical Requirements: essential condition, resource, and means for a CC to be operational
- Mosque, Sanctuary, Bases

Identify Critical Vulnerabilities: an aspect of a CR that is vulnerable to attack (HVTs)

Q

What is CARVER

A

To determine the military importance of target Components, the priority of attack, and weapons required to obtain a desired effect

Criticality: How much will destroying this target affect the enemy

Accessibility: Can I get to the target (directly or indirectly)

Recuperability: How long will it take them to fix/ replace the target

Vulnerability: With what I have can I affect the target

Effects on Population: What are the positive and negative effects of doing what im doing

Recognizability: Can i ID the target when I am close to it

Q

Target Value Analysis

A

Quantifies the relative value of HVTs with each other in relation to a particular enemy operation

  • Separate process conducted initially during IPB
  • Provide focus for the CDRs target aquisituion list
  • IDs priorities for engagement of enemy tgts to faciliatate success of mission
  • Identifying effects criteria
    1: ID Threat

2: Analyze the threat- ID critical:
- CCs
- CRs
- CVs

3: ID HVT & Develop the HVTL
4: Conduct a detailed analysis of the friendly COA
5: Analyze the HVTL & ID HPT
6: Develop HPTL
