Q

What is Air Apportionment Mission Priority?

A

Apportionment (air). The determination and assignment of the total expected effort by percentage and/or by priority that should be devoted to the various air operations for a given period of time. Also called air apportionment. (JP 1-02)

•The JFACC will allocate sufficient air power to produce these prioritized effects by the time specified (see example):

  • Gain air superiority NLT D+3
  • Support the culmination of CA ground offensive short of PL Indigo
  • Support CFMCC in establishing maritime superiority
  • On order destroy CA’s chemical delivery means

21
Q

Describe Draft JIPTL Development.

A

•Ensure targets link to tactical tasks
•Two levels of prioritization
–Targets prioritized from highest to lowest tactical tasks
–Targets prioritized from Category A (highest) to Category C (lowest) importance with tactical tasks

22
Q

Describe the technique for Prioritizing Targets on the JIPTL.

A

Priority A (highest): This target MUST BE ATTACKED on this ATO because:
–Absolutely essential for mission success
–Crucial to overall success of the campaign
–Has immediate and compelling effects
–If not targeted, negative consequences may jeopardize future operations

Priority B: This target NEEDS TO BE ATTACKED on this ATO because:
–Substantial impact on the battle-not critical to today’s success
–Synergistic effects this target provides may not be realized in the future
–If not targeted on this ATO, a significant level of effort may be required later
–If not targeted, negative consequences may hamper future operations

Priority C: We would like to have this target attacked on the ATO because:
–Its effects are desirable-not critical to tomorrow’s mission success
–Furthers the success of campaign plans
–It will eventually require targeting due to future plans
–Negative consequences may impede future operations

23
Q

Combat Assessments? (Review this one)

A

BDA, AMMO, and RE-ATTACK requirements.

24
Q

What are the Targeting Effects Team’s (TET) Outputs?

A

–Team consensus desired – not required
–The draft JIPTL goes to JFC (or designated representative) for approval
•Targeting employment guidance (examples TLAMS(Tomahawk), IW, B-2)
•Assess need to change apportionment (if not done in Strategy Division)

25
Q

How does the Strategy division plans team assist JFACC?

A

Strategy division plans team assists JFACC in drafting guidance in the AOD.

26
Q

What is the purpose of the AOD?
