Introduction
Targeting is the process of selecting and prioritizing targets and matching the appropriate response to them, considering operational requirements and capabilities. Targeting requires a continuous, analytic process to identify, develop, and affect targets to meet commander objectives. Joint targeting provides planners with access to detailed information on the targets, supported by the nominating component’s analytical reasoning that links the targets with the desired effects. Targeting helps integrate and synchronize fires with other joint functions.
