Executive Summary solution under given circumstances. Capabilities analysis is comprised of four steps: target vulnerability analysis, capabilities assignment, feasibility assessment, and effects estimate. Joint Targeting Cycle Phase 4— Commander’s Decision and Force Assignment Joint Targeting Cycle Phase 5— Mission Planning and Force Execution Joint Targeting Cycle Phase 6— Targeting Assessment Time-Sensitive Target (TST) Considerations The force assignment process integrates previous phases of joint targeting and fuses capabilities analysis with available forces, sensors, and weapons systems. The process of resourcing JIPTL targets with available forces or systems and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets lies at the heart of force assignment. This process links theoretical planning to actual operations. Once the JFC has approved the JIPTL, either entirely or in part, tasking orders are prepared and released to the executing components and forces. The commander’s decision in phase 4 is to either approve the draft JIPTL, approve targets to be added to or removed from the JIPTL, or approves a particular way or ways of engaging a particular target or targets. Upon receipt of tasking orders, detailed planning must be performed for the execution of operations. During execution, the operational environment changes as a result of actions from the joint force, adversary, and other actors. The joint targeting process monitors these changes in order to allow commanders to decisively use joint force capabilities to seize and maintain the initiative. The targeting assessment phase is a continuous process that assesses the effectiveness of the activities that occurred during the first five phases of the joint targeting cycle. The targeting assessment process helps the commander and staff determine if the ends, ways, and means of joint targeting have resulted in progress toward accomplishing a task, creating an effect, or achieving an objective. The JFC’s objectives and guidance shape the basic procedural framework for components to expedite engagement of TSTs. Additionally, the JFC establishes guidance on procedures for coordination, deconfliction, and synchronization xii JP 3-60
Executive Summary Generally, TSTs are engaged using dynamic targeting, so the command and control arrangements should include the rapid identification and communication capabilities required for expedited decision making. The Relationship Between Targeting and Effects It is important that desired and undesired effects be clearly communicated as far down as necessary to ensure these effects are created or avoided respectively. among components. Once this guidance is issued, the components establish planned and reactive procedures for engaging the prioritized TSTs. A critical aspect of successful TST engagement is to understand the level of risk acceptable to the JFC. Items to be considered in the risk assessment include risk to civilians, friendly forces, and noncombatants; possible collateral damage; and the disruption incurred by diverting assets from their deliberately planned missions. From the targeting perspective, an effect is a change in the physical or behavioral state of a target system, a target system component, a target, or a target element that results from an action, a set of actions, or another effect. A desired effect can be thought of as a condition that can support achieving an associated objective, while an undesired effect is a condition that can inhibit progress toward an objective Joint Force Targeting Duties and Responsibilities Joint Targeting Integration and Oversight Joint Force Targeting Responsibilities The JFC’s primary targeting responsibility lies in establishing the objectives that component commanders will achieve throughout the operational environment with their forces (assigned, attached, and supporting). With the advice of subordinate component commanders, JFCs set priorities, provide clear targeting guidance, and determine the weight of effort to be provided to various operations. Throughout the targeting process, JFC and component commanders should establish safeguards to reduce the possibility of friendly fire. Joint standards and methods for estimating collateral damage potential provide mitigation techniques and assist commanders with weighing collateral risk against military necessity and assessing proportionality within the framework of the military decision-making process. The JFC has the responsibility to conduct planning, coordination, and deconfliction associated with joint targeting. Joint targeting coordination responsibilities for the JFC include: xiii
