A

evaluation of potential tgt systems

Q

*JIPTL creation

A

Target dev nomination list from each component(land, sea, air, ally, partner, OGA)

candidate tgt list submitted by each component includes restricted and no strike

joint tgt list no restrictions and have military significance. (vetted and validated)

target nomination list prioritized from jtl

jiptl is prioritzed and approved by Deputy JTF commander

ATO is the air tasking

Q

*what are the positive effects of tgting management

A

applies constant pressure

targets entire insurgent movement instead of individuals

develops effects based offensive strategy with operational patience for higher gains

minimizes collateral damage and create IO opportunities

facilitate interdiciplinary

allows you to take advantage of opportunities

Q

*HPT vs HVT

A

HPT is essential for our sucess. HVT becomes HPT when we have a COA

HVT is essential for enemy success

24
Q

*describe DETECT

A

determines accurate, identifiable, timely requirements for collection

focuses on HPT and PIR

25
Q

*what is vetting vs validation

A

vetting assess accuracy of intelligence to establish reasonable confidence in a tgts function and charictaristics

Validation ensures vetted tgts meet objectives and criteria in commqnders guidance, LOW, and ROE

26
Q

*describe DELIVER

A

executes tgt guidance and supports commanders plan once hpts have been IDd and located

27
Q

4 Nation-state tgt systems

A

SOF

Petroleum Industry

Electrical Power

Air Defense Forces

28
Q

*COG analysis steps

A

CC, CR, CV

ID end state

Define Primary Critical Capability

Identify COG

Identify Critical Requirements to execute Critical Capability

Identify critical vulnerabilities (of CR)

29
Q

*what is criticality

A

Importance of a tgt

how much will its destruction degrad a system

how much will it impair an adversarys will or ability to fight

30
Q

*what does CARVER stand for

A

criticality

accessability

recouperability

vulnerability

effects on populace

recognizability

31
Q

*describe tgt taxonomy

A

tgt system (radar site)

tgt system component (communicate)

tgt (c2 van)

critical element (c2 comms)

critical damage point (the critical element with best payoff)

32
Q

*what is the purpose of CARVER

A

determine military importance of tgt components, priorty, weapons required

33
Q

*definition of dynamic tgt

A

tgt id to late or not selected to be included in deliberate tgting. when detected they meet criteria neccesary for mission success

34
Q

What is F3EAD

A
Find
Fix
Finish
Exploit
Analyze
Disseminate

provides leaders with a method to organize resources and array forces across a range of operations. best for tactical level. exploit and analyze are most important.

35
Q

four goals of tgt exploitation

A

force protection

targeting component

materiel sourcing

prosecution

36
Q

*elements of FOCUSED (tgting guidelines)

A

fully developed tva

collection management alligned with frinedly COA

Every tgt nominated must contribute to attaining cdr obj

achieve obj within parameters and limitations, roe, LOW and cdr guidance

37
Q

*elements of EFFECTS BASED (tgting guidelines)

A

creation of specific effects

use tgt taxonomy or cog to determine how a certain thing will hurt enemy

all possible means to achieve goals, use all capabilities. achieve desired effects with least risk and cost.

38
Q

*elements of INTERDICIPLINARY (tgting guidelines)

A

use fusion meetings to ensure proper use and intergration of other agencies, other units, host nation.

understand who and what is available

39
Q

*elements of SYSTEMATIC (tgting guidelines)

A

rational and iterative

methodically analyses,prioritizes, and assigns assets

40
Q

*elements of DIRECTS( tgting guidelines)

A

synch assets through fusion to ensure right asset is directed at right tgt

41
Q

*Immediate tgt

A

detected too late to be included in normal tgting process

42
Q

*time sensative tgt

A

valuavle tgt that requires immediate response because they pose such a danger to friendly forces

43
Q

*5 tgt characteristics

A

physical - 5 senses

functional - what it does and how it does it

Cognnitive - how it processes info or exercises control

Environmental - effect on tgt

Temporal - vulnerability in relation to time available

44
Q

*challenge with tgting

A

sift through massive intel

best to keep big picture(macro)

characterize vulnerability with enough detail to get meaningful tgts

45
Q

*How to overcome the challeneges of tgting

A

thorough IPB (JIPOE at joint lvl)

strict adherance to processes

PIRs tied to decision point

fusion of s2 and s3

update collection plan and running estimates

A

Identify threats

Analyze the threat (COG or taxonomy)

ID HVT and CARVER to develop HVTL

Conduct analysis of friendly COA (HPT)

Analyze the HVTL with friendly COA to determine HPT

Carver to develop HPTL
