entity/object of a target
performs primary function.
effectively engaged for achievement of
- operational objective
- mission task
Critical damage point
disabled by
particular element stops the operation
disabled by
- weapons
- demolitions
- sabotage
Definition of COG
Power=SFW
source of power provides strength -moral -physical -freedom of action -will to act
Purpose of performing COG
DEE
determine
evaluate
exploitation
critical vulnerabilities
Result of COG
when does cog take place
what does it exploit
used during
D3A, Decide, COA Dev
JTC Target Dev and prioritization
-target development
exploit vulnerabilities
Characteristics of COG
is a source of?
Level of warfare
shifts when
a source of leverage
physical
- operational
- tactical level
shifts
- over time
- between phases
Definition of critical vulnerabilities
Place in COG
Part of language?
A COGs-me
A verb
COGs
- means
- enabler
Definition of critical requirements
an essential
- condition
- resource
- means
for a critical capability to be fully operational
Definition of critical vulnerabilities- DV DS
aspect of one up
how to attack DI
deficient or vulnerable
decisive or significant effect
aspect of a critical requirements
direct or indirect attack
COG Analysis steps
- Identify the end state
- Define the CC
- Identify the COG
- Identify CR required to execute the CC
- Identify CV
Purpose of CARVER
determine the military importance- TPW
obtain a desired effect on- 1 set
determine the military importance
- targets components
- priority of attack
- weapons required
obtain a desired effect on
- a target
- set of targets
Target value analysis
happens 3x times
Conducted during Decide in D3A, Mission analysis
JTC happen during Step 3 capabilities analysis
Repeated throughout the operation process
6 steps of TVA ID Anal ID COA Anal Dev
- ID threat
- Analyze the threat (cog or target taxonomy)
- ID HVT and develop HVTL (carver)
- COA analysis of friendly (feasibility, asset available, higher efforts)
- Analyze the HVTL and ID HPT (carver)
- Develop HPTL
