point determination. Additionally, intelligence products collected by national
sensor systems can assist theater forces to anticipate TM operations and to
determine enemy TM unit locations. SOF involvement may be through attack
of TM targets by direct action operations or through conduct of special
reconnaissance.
3-94. Planning for attack operations begins with the IPB process. The IPB
process includes surveillance of likely TM launch areas and prediction of
likely enemy TM activities. ADA planners must coordinate with the S2 for
IPB development. Upon completing the initial analysis, the JFC issues
guidance on the concept and priorities for TM attack operations. Based upon
the JFC staff and component commander recommendations, the JFC assigns
missions to the component commanders and provides guidance for JTMD
attack operations. Component commanders then plan attack operations
based on the assignment of attack responsibilities, the JFC's concept,
priorities, and allocation of attack resources.
3-95. Effective JTMD attack operations requires the integration and
coordination of all joint force plans. The JFC may task an organization within
his joint staff to integrate component commanders' plans or may delegate this
responsibility to a subordinate commander. If established, the joint targeting
coordination board (JTCB) may be an integration center for this effort or
serve as a JFC-level review mechanism. Because of the mobility of TM
systems, the time to acquire, target, and attack TM elements may be very
short. Thus, an accelerated execution cycle using the decide-detect-deliverassess
process is required. Based upon pre-established JFC approved
priorities and ROE, enemy TM targets are attacked by the most appropriate
attack system as soon as detected.
3-96. Commanders continually reassess friendly and enemy dispositions
throughout the planning cycle. They use all available intelligence to
anticipate enemy attack plans, predict TM system dispositions, and plan
appropriate attack responses.
3-97. Conduct of attack operations is reliant on sensor systems, a responsive
near real time sensor management and communications network, and highly
responsive, long-range attack weapon systems. At the tactical level,
responsive intelligence and operations interfaces are required for rapid
targeting and engagement of mobile TM launchers and support assets.
Execution of air and ground JTMD attack operations is centrally planned,
executed in a decentralized manner, and governed by applicable joint policies,
doctrine, and procedures.
MULTINATIONAL TAMD OPERATIONS CONSIDERATIONS
3-98. TAMD operations are required within the context of an alliance,
coalition, or other international arrangement. Within this context, the JFC is
subordinate to the CINC or may be the multinational CINC. In either event,
the JFC must consider those areas peculiar to multinational operations that
may influence the ability to achieve multinational unity of effort.
