4. Systematic

1. End State and Commanders Objective (Goal)
2. Target Development and Prioritization (Desired Effects/Objective)
3. Capabilities Analysis (Determine best means to engage target)
4. Commander's Decision and Force Assignment (Commanders Approval)
5. Mission Planning and Force Execution (Component Targeting and Engagement)
6. Targeting Assessment (Are we accomplishing out task)

1. Preponderance of forces
2. Ability to command and control forces

Law Of War:

List 4 principles and describe two in order to justify your response to the scenario.

• Military necessity: Legitimate military objective and definite advantage
• Proportionality: Prohibits collateral civilian casualties so excessive as to be tantamount to the intentional attack on civilians.
• Unnecessary suffering: forbid employment of weapons that cause unnecessary suffering
• Distinction: Distinguish between civilian population and combatant forces.

1. Critical Capability- A means that is considered a crucial enabler for a COG to function as such and is essential to the accomplishmetn of the specified or assumed objectives.
2. Critical Requirement- An essential condition, resources and means for a CC to be fully operational.
3. Critical Vulnerability- An aspect of a CR which is deficient or vulnerable to direct or indirect attack that will create decisive or significant results.

Helps determine the best targeting alternative for a given siuation.

Determins priorities for targeting effort and provides damage criteria, focuses intelligence collection, exploitation and production efforts.

What are MOPs and MOEs?

MOP: A criterion used to assess friendly actions that is tied to measuring task accomplishment.

MOE: 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.

1. Target Development
2. Target Material Production
3. Collection Management
4. Combat Assessment/BDA

1. Establish JTCB or like body, Appoint deputy JFC or component commander as chairman
2. Delegate authority to a deputy to a subordinate commander
3. Retain authority and conduct with J3 assistance

1. Coordinate JFC JIPTL development with components
2. Assist JIOC in developing HVT/HPT
3. De-conflict and validate target nominations
4. ID potential conflicts and prep JTCB
5. Coordinate Combat Assessment

Target System Taxonomy (Know in Order)

Adversary

Target System

Component

Target/Entity

Target Element

Aimpoint

A list of objects or entities characterized as protected from the effects of military operations under international law and/or ROE

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 by component commanders, appropriate agencies, or the Joint Force Commander's staff for inclusion on the JIPTL.

A consolidated list of selected targets, upon which there are no restrictions placed, considered to have military significance in the JFC's operational area.

A list of restricted targets nominated by elements of the joint force and approved by the JFC - includes restricted targets directed by higher authorities; valid military targets but there are target engaement restrictions.

Basic (Unique Identifier)

Target ID; Target Location; Target Function; Target Significance

Intermediate (prepare for Vetting)

Target Description; Functional Characterization; Target Expectation Statement; Critical Target Elements;Sources

Advanced (Facilitate Target Engagement)

Vulnerability Analysis; Weaponeering, Aimpoint Development; Collateral Damage Estimation (CDE)

3 Stages of Target Development in Phase 2 of the JTC

1. Target System Analysis
2. Target Development 
3. Target List Management

9 elements of vetting

(Understand differnce between Expectation and Significance Satement)

Basic Stage:

Target Identification; Target Location; Target Function; Target Significance

Intermediate Stage

Target Description; Functional Characterization; Target Expectation Statemetn; Critical target Elements; Sources

TES: Anticipated consequences to the adversary's target system.

Collateral Damage Considerations

Intelligence Gain-Loss Concerns

Joint Intelligence Preperation of the Operating Environment: Defines/Characterizes the enemy environment (Scene Setter)

State actors

Non-state Actors

Combatant Command

SIGINT

MASINT

OSINT

HUMINT

GEOINT

Defense Intelligence Agency: Updates In-Garrison Orders of Battle

Defense Threat Reduction Agency: Focal point for analysis of WMD-related target vulnerability predictions and assessments

Joint Warfare Analysis Center: Provides functional network analysis to ID critical networks, nodes, and influence oints within an adversary's infrastructure. 

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 commanders act to achieve the commander's desired results without further orders, even when the operation does not unfold as planned.

End State- The set of required conditions that defines achievement of the commander's objectives.

Objective- The clearly defined, decisive, and attainable goal toward which every operation is directed.

Effect- The physical or behavioral state of a system that results from an action, a set of actions, or another effect.
