also essential that other components provide inputs to the JFACC’s air apportionment<br />
recommendation to the JFC because it influences the strategy to task methodology used<br />
during the joint air tasking cycle. If a JFACC is not used, this process will be conducted for<br />
each Service component performing air operations.<br />
(2) Stage 2 is target development. The specific objectives received during stage 1<br />
are used to focus this effort. Targets are nominated to support the objectives and priorities<br />
provided by the JFC. In accordance with the JFC’s objectives and component targeting<br />
requirements, the JFACC (or Service component commander if a JFACC is not used)<br />
conducts daily joint air planning for the employment of available capabilities and/or forces.<br />
If the JFC designates an air component to merge other joint forces TNLs and develop the<br />
draft JIPTL, the end product of the target development stage is the draft JIPTL that supports<br />
the JFC’s prioritized objectives and conforms to guidance. In any case, the air component<br />
uses this process to develop the air component’s TNL for inclusion in the draft JIPTL.<br />
