24
Q

Center of Gravity

Study These Flashcards
A

Source of power that provides moral or physical strength, freedom of action, or will to act

25
Critical capabilities
Means that is considered a crucial enabler for a COG to function
26
Critical Requirements
An essential condition, resources and means for a CC to be fully operational
27
Critical Vulnerability
An aspect of the CR which is deficient or vulnerable to attack
28
Commander's Intent
Clear and concise expression of the operation's purpose and the desired military end state that supports mission command, provides focus to the staff, and helps subordinate and supporting commands act to achieve the commander's desired results
29
end state
Set of required conditions that defines achievement of the commander's objectives
30
Objective
The clearly defined, decisive, and attainable goal toward which every operation is directed
31
Effect
The physical or behavioral state of a system that results from an action, a set of actions, or another effect
32
Measure of Performance
A criterion used to assess friendly actions that is tied to measuring task accomplishment
33
Measure of Effect
A criterion used to assess changes in system behavior, capability, or operational environment that is tied to measuring the attainment of an end state, an objective, or the creation of an effect
34
Importance of end state and commander's objectives in targeting
1. Essential to determine best targeting alternatives for a situation 2. Determine priorities for targeting effort and provide damage criteria 3. Focus intelligence collection, exploitation, and production efforts
35
What does the JIPOE Process define
The enemy operational environement
36
Target Taxonomy
1. Adversary 2. Target System 3. Target system component 4. Target 5. Target element (aimpoint)
37
Nation-State Actor
Target systems associated with sovereign nation states and their war-fighting/sustaining capabilities.
38
Non-State Actors
Those target systems associated with non-sovereign entities that exercise significant economic, political, or social power and influence at a national or international level.
39
Three phases of target development
1. Target System Analysis 2. Target Development 3. Target List Management
40
Who produces target system analyses?
Component Commands
41
Purpose of basic stage target development
To assign a unique identifier
42
Purpose of Intermediate Stage Target Development
To prepare the target for vetting
43
Parts of basic stage target development
- Target Identification - Target location - Target Function (Functional ID) - Target Significance
44
Parts of Intermediate Stage of target development
- Target Description - Functional characterization - Target expectation statement - Critical target elements - Source
45
What does the intelligence community provide vetting elements?
- Collateral damage considerations | - Intelligence Gain/Lost Concerns
46
Target Significance Statement
Conveys target's value to enemy system and differentiates the target from other low-level targets within the enemy system
47
Target Expectation Statement
The focus of the target expectation statement is not the target itself, but the effect(s) on the target system (and adversary) with which it is associated
48
Vetting
A part of target development that assesses the accuracy of the supporting intelligence to targeting (2 function)
49
Validation
Ensures all vetted targets meet the objectives and criteria outlined in the LOW and ROE
50
Joint Target List (JTL)
A consolidated list of selected targets upon which there are no restrictions placed, considered to have military significance in the JFC operational area
51
Restricted Target List (RTL)
A list of restricted targets nominated by elements of the joint force and approved by the JFC - Includes restricted targets directed by higher authorities
52

53
Target Nomination List (TNL)
A target-Consolidated list of targets made up of the multiple candidate target lists. A prioritized list of targets drawn from the joint target list and nominated component commander's, appropriate agencies, or the joint force commander's staff for inclusion on the join integrated prioritized target list (JIPTL)
54
Joint Integrated Prioritized Target List (JIPTL)
A prioritized list of targets approved and maintained by the JFC. Targets and priorities are derived from the recommendations of the components and other appropriate agencies in conjunction with their proposed operations supporting the joint force commander's objectives and guidance
