Dynamic Targeting

Question 1

Most important aspect of detailed targeting (2)

Answer 1

detailed commander s objectives and guidance and the CCIRs are the most important elements of effective DT

The guidance should articulate risk tolerance to help subordinate commanders understand the intent when DT requires accelerated coordination

Question 2

Definition of Dynamic Targets

Answer 2

Targets identified too late, or not selected, for action in time to be included in deliberate targeting but when detected meet criteria specific to achieving objectives. When plans change and planned targets must be adjusted, DT can also manage those changes. Dynamic targets include several subcategories.

Question 3

Dynamic targets guidance should include:

Answer 3

1. Priorities and requirement identification, by component
2. Target prioritization
3. Guidance for target acquisition
4. Prescribed actions against the targets

Question 4

Examples of TSTs (4)

Answer 4

Senior political or military leadership or HVI
Multiple rockets launchers
Mobile long range surface to air missile
Theaters ballistic missiles

Question 5

Dynamic targets can be used for both

Answer 5

lethal and non lethal

Question 6

Key facts about F3EAD (5)

Answer 6

provides maneuver leaders at all levels with a methodology that enables them to organize resources and array forces across the range of operations

Address Certain targeting challenges

F3EAD is not a replacement for D3A nor it is exclusive to targeting…work best at the tactical level

Suit well HVI, cells, and networks

Exploit and analyze steps are often the main efforts of F3EAD because they provide insight into the enemy s network and may open new lines of operations

Question 7

Find (4)

Answer 7

the process of establishing a start point for intelligence collection.
Take place at all levels of both the intelligence and operations system
Confirm probable HVI, focus sensors, locate, determine time available
Deliberate or opportunity based

Question 8

Fix (2)

Answer 8

Applying intelligence collection capability against the target in order to develop operational triggers to fix the target in time and space

Simply means that the intelligence effort has progressed enough that the operations function has sufficient information to execute the mission

Question 9

Finish

Answer 9

lethal combat operation in which SOF close with and destroy or seize enemy facilities, equipment, or personnel.

Question 10

Exploit

Answer 10

.

Question 11

Purpose of exploit +4

Answer 11

produce enough actionable intelligence and/or prosecutorial evidence to perpetuate the F3EAD process as rapidly as possible.

Force protection

Targeting

Component or material sourcing

Prosecution

Question 12

Analyze

Answer 12

is where the information gained in find, fix, finish, and exploit turns into intelligence which can be used to drive operations

The exploit, analyze, and disseminate steps amplify the assess function.

Question 13

Disseminate

Answer 13

One of the keys to success of F3EAD is the creation of a wider dissemination network than as traditionally been practiced inside the US intelligence community

“a network to defeat a network”

Question 14

F2T2EA process “kill chain”

Answer 14

find, fix, track, target, engage, assess
