targeting Flashcards
*6 steps in joint targeting cycle (jtc)
end state and commanders objectives
target development and prioritization
capabilities analysis
commanders decision and force assignment
mission planning and force execution
assessment
*what is the joint targeting cycle
iterative
not time constrained
is a framework
steps may happen concurrently
*describe end state and cdrs obj
Drives tgting
effects, priorities,criteria, requirements, restrictions
*describe target dev and prioritization
evaluation of potential tgt systems
contains vetting and validation of a tgt
each component command determines its prioritization criteria
3 steps
tgt systems analysis (determine relevance)
entity level target developement (from tgt ID to execution)
tgt list management (progression to JIPTL)
*JIPTL creation
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
*Describe capabilities analysis
evaluating available capabilities with desired effects to determine appropriate option
4 steps
TVA
Capabilities assignment (weaponeering)
Feasibility assessment (asset tgt interaction)
Effects estimate (CDE and BDA)
*commanders decision and force assignment
fuses capabilities analysis with available forces, sensors and weapons.
OPS primary INTEL supporting.
*mission planning and force execution
Joint Force Commander (JFC) SA on ongoing OPS
component commands do mission command and monitor execution
units perform detailed mission planning and conduct missions
*assessment
measurs progress towards mission completion
*what is targeting
process of selecting and prioritizing tgts, matching appropriate response, and taking into account operational priorities and capabilities
tgting must be sychronized across
time
space
purpose
*five categories of target functions
five-o
facility
individual
virtual
equipment
organization
what is a target
entity or object that performs a function for the enemy considered for possible engagement
*what is deliberate tgting
24-72 hrs
planned targets known to exist
scheduled
on call
*what is dynamic tgting
less than 24 hrs
tgts of opportunity
unplanned (knew about it but didnt want it)
unanticipated (didnt know about it at all)
*3 elements of a combat assessment
bda
munitions effectiveness
reattack recommendation
*what does a SOLE do
Critical to integrating the JSOTF Commanders tgting needs with the Joint Force
coord, synch, and deconflict sof air, ground and subsurface activities with joint air ops
*what are the positive effects of tgting management
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
*what are the 5 tgting guidlines(principles)
Focused on commanders obj
effects based (desired effects with least risk and expenditure)
Interdiciplinary particpation of all staff, agencies, orgs, partners
systematic rational and iterative
directs lethal and non leathal for desired effects
*3 main tgt categories
fixed
mobile
human
*what are the 4 steps of D3A
decide
detect
deliver
assess
*Describe DECIDE
overall focus, sets priorities, draws from IPB
*HPT vs HVT
HPT is essential for our sucess. HVT becomes HPT when we have a COA
HVT is essential for enemy success
