Q

Define an HPT

A

A target whose loss to the enemy will significantly contribute to the success of the friendly course of action.

37
Q

What are the 6 steps of Target Value Analysis?

A

  2. Analyze the threat (COG - CC/CR/CV)
  3. ID HVTs and develop HVT List
  4. Conduct a detailed friendly COA analysis
  5. Analyze the HVTL & ID HPTs
  6. Develop HPT list (HPTL)
38
Q

What is the main challenge in targeting?

A

-Sifting through massive amounts of intel, examine the adversary from a macro level and characterize vulnerabilities with enough detail to derive meaning.

39
Q

What are the tools for overcoming targeting challenges?

A

IPB
TVA
COG Analysis
CARVER
Ops and Intel Fusion
Update collection plan

40
Q

Define Targeting.

A

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

41
Q

Define COG

A

The physical and or/ morale entities that are the primary components of strength, power and resistance.

42
Q

What process is used for Dynamic Targeting? The “Kill Chain”?

A

F2T2EA
(1) Find. Detect and classify targets for prosecution.
(2) Fix. Determine the location of the potential target.
(3) Track. Observe and monitor the target’s activity and movement.
(4) Target. Decide whether to engage the target and select and coordinate the means to create the desired effects.
(5) Engage. Take action against the target.
(6) Assess. Focus on the results of the target engagement. Battle damage assessment (BDA) is critical to determine if an immediate reattack is required.

43
Q

What are the four goals of Target Exploitation?

A

FORCEPRO
Targeting Component
Material Sourcing
Prosecution

44
Q

Define F3EAD

A

Find
Fix
Finish

Disseminate

45
Q

F3EAD is best suited for what level of operations?

A

Tactical

46
Q

What is the difference between track and target phases?

A

The track phase is used to provide persistent ISR on the target while the target phase validates that the target is approved for engagement.

47
Q

What is Deliberate targeting and the types of targets?

A

Prosecutes planned targets known to exist in an operational area and have actions against it.

SCHEDULED: Located and prosecuted at a specific time
ON CALL: Actions are planned but not tied to a specific time

48
Q

What is dynamic targeting and the subtype targets?

A

Opportunity targets and changes to planned targets or objectives

UNPLANNED: Known to exist in operational environment
UNANTICPATED: Unknown or not expected opportunities within the OE.

Neutralizes when necessary to create long term effects
Trusts Instincts

50
Q

A

Allows forces to identify, target and destroy cells and networks

51
Q

A

Source of power that provides moral or physical strength and freedom of action or will to act.

Critical Requirement – What are the requirements needed to execute the primary CC?
Critical Vulnerability – What CR or components thereof are deficient or vulnerable?

54
Q

Establishes terms of reference for analysts, targeteers, planners and operators to effectively decompose an adversary or potential adversary into its understandable (smallest) parts.

i. Adversary
ii. Target System
iii. Target System Component
iv. Target
v. Critical Target Element
vi. Critical Damage Point

55
Q

What is F3EAD and the steps?

A

Find - The process of establishing a start point for intelligence collection. Uses CDR guidance, and IPB to detect and nominate potential HVIs for development.
Fix – ensures that there is enough information on the target that it can be executed. The target is identified, fixed in a time and space to a level for execution.
Finish – Kinetic, non-kinetic action on the target, target is isolated, engaged and secured
Exploit – main effort, analyzing, interrogating, and processing captured enemy pax, equipment and material for intelligence purposes.
Analyze – second most information effort of F3EAD, getting information gained from previous phases and generating actionable intelligence
Disseminate – pushing your intelligence information up and out and adjacent.

56
Q

What are the Target Characteristics?

A

Physical – five senses
Functional – what/how the target does things
Cognitive – How target process information
Environmental – effect of environment on target
Temporal - vulnerability to detection

57
Q

Define Vetting.

A

assesses accuracy of supporting intelligence to target, establishes reasonable level of target characterization

58
Q

Validation is…

A

ensuring all vetted targets met objectives and criteria outlined in commanders guidance and ensures compliance with ROE/LOAC.

59
Q

What is BDA and the types?

A

Estimate of physical damage or effect and conducted post operation.

BDA 2 – Functional capability of TGT to conduct mission
BDA 3 – Function assessment of higher level target system
