Chapter IV
(5) Major IADS C2 facilities.
(6) Operations and maintenance facilities, equipment, and personnel.
(7) Logistic support (e.g., fuel storage, munitions depots, electrical power
generation and transmission).
(8) ISR and target acquisition systems.
(9) Transportation infrastructure serving garrisons/deployment sites for
mobile/moveable missiles (e.g., bridges, tunnel adits, rail choke points).
(10) Aircraft carriers and sea-based offensive missile and AMD platforms.
c. Resources
(1) Assets used to support OCA attack operations include fixed- and rotary-wing
aircraft, CMs, SOF, other surface-to-surface fires, ground maneuver forces, EW and other IO
capabilities, and ISR systems. Also, when required, long-range strike capabilities may be
available to support the OCA effort.
(2) Attack operations are highly dependent upon predictive and developed
intelligence. Because of the difficulty in detecting highly mobile launch systems, a seamless
network of C2 systems and sensors should be employed to share information and support
NRT targeting and attack. National sensor systems normally will be required to augment
theater air and surface based systems. Space systems provide tactical information to assist in
determining enemy missile launch points and tracking. Additionally, intelligence collected
by these systems can enable theater forces to anticipate hostile air and missile operations and
determine their unit locations.
d. Execution. In addition to the JFACC’s own Service component forces, the JFC may
apportion additional component force/capabilities to the JFACC to support theater-/JOAwide
attack operations. The JFACC’s recommendation and the JFC’s decision on
apportionment determine the amount of effort made available for OCA attack operations.
Attack operations are generally planned against scheduled and on-call targets, but some
flexibility must be planned for unanticipated/unplanned targets of opportunity.
(1) Planned Scheduled Targets. Normally, OCA targets are nominated and
prioritized through the joint targeting process that results in planned targets; that may include
a list of approved TSTs that must be attacked at the onset of hostilities, or even prior to the
onset of hostilities. Typically, JFCs organize a joint targeting coordination board
(JTCB) for determining apportionment of operational fires and shaping the operational
environment in the theater/JOA, including fires supporting OCA attack operations.
The JTCB normally simultaneously addresses at least three ATO cycles that are either being
planned, about to be executed, or in execution.
(2) Planned On-Call Targets. The quicker the joint force can locate, identify, and
target the enemy air and missile threats, the quicker they can be attacked and defeated. On-
