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.

This book is a “Mini” (half the size of a piece of paper).

A popular size to carry anywhere (briefcase, large pocket, purse) but the print is large enough for easy reading.  The binding is with coil, allowing easy flipping of pages without jamming.

The color covers are laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing.

(A BIG size version (8 1/2 inch by 11 inch, the same size as a regular sheet of paper) is on this website too)
