Q

*describe target dev and prioritization

A

evaluation of potential tgt systems

contains vetting and validation of a tgt

each component command determines its prioritization criteria

3 steps

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

Q

*describe DETECT

A

determines accurate, identifiable, timely requirements for collection

focuses on HPT and PIR

25
*what is vetting vs validation
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
*describe DELIVER
executes tgt guidance and supports commanders plan once hpts have been IDd and located
27
4 Nation-state tgt systems
SOF Petroleum Industry Electrical Power Air Defense Forces
28
*COG analysis steps
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
*what is criticality
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
*what does CARVER stand for
criticality accessability recouperability vulnerability effects on populace recognizability
31
*describe tgt taxonomy
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
*what is the purpose of CARVER
determine military importance of tgt components, priorty, weapons required
33
*definition of dynamic tgt
tgt id to late or not selected to be included in deliberate tgting. when detected they meet criteria neccesary for mission success
34
What is F3EAD
``` 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
four goals of tgt exploitation
force protection targeting component materiel sourcing prosecution
36
*elements of FOCUSED (tgting guidelines)
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
*elements of EFFECTS BASED (tgting guidelines)
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
*elements of INTERDICIPLINARY (tgting guidelines)
use fusion meetings to ensure proper use and intergration of other agencies, other units, host nation. understand who and what is available
39
*elements of SYSTEMATIC (tgting guidelines)
rational and iterative methodically analyses,prioritizes, and assigns assets
40
*elements of DIRECTS( tgting guidelines)
synch assets through fusion to ensure right asset is directed at right tgt
41
*Immediate tgt
detected too late to be included in normal tgting process
42
*time sensative tgt
valuavle tgt that requires immediate response because they pose such a danger to friendly forces
43
*5 tgt characteristics
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
*challenge with tgting
sift through massive intel best to keep big picture(macro) characterize vulnerability with enough detail to get meaningful tgts
45
*How to overcome the challeneges of tgting
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
46
*6 steps of Target Value Analysis
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
47
*What is a Combat Assessment Composed of
BDA Munitions effectiveness Re-attack recommendation
48
*what is an MOE
Measure of Effectiveness. (are we doing the right things) are we creating desired effects/meeting intended purpose
49
*what is an MOP
Measure of Performance (are we doing things right) are we effectively completing the task
50
*4 outputs of DECIDE
HPTL ISR plan Tgt Selection standards Attack guidance matrix
51
*process for DETECT
Collect and analyze information develop tgts pass directly to a firing unit
52
*outputs of Deliver
execution of Attack Guidance Matrix number and type of munitiions unit to conduct attack response time of attacking unit
53
*how D3A lines up with MDMP
DECIDE =MA, COA dev, COA analysis, Orders production detect, deliver and assess all happen after or during execution of order
54
FIND
ID tgting opportunities start point for intel collect
55
FIX
apply intel collect to fix tgt in time and space
56
FINISH
rapidly execute a known drill and be prepared for follow on ops lethal combat ops
57
EXPLOIT
main effort provide enough actionable intel to perpetuate F3EAD
58
ANALYZE
Information is turned into intelligence to drive operations
59
DISSEMINATE
wider dissemination throughout the IC
