SFWOTTCC MODULE 6 - TARGETING EXAM
Define "targeting." - ANSWER The process of selecting and prioritizing targets
and matching the appropriate response to them, considering operational
requirements and capabilities.
State the main objective of targeting. - ANSWER 1. Identify resources (targets) the
enemy can least afford to lose or that provide him with the greatest advantage.
2. Allows units to form an HVTL/HPTL.
List the six steps of the joint targeting cycle. (ETCCMA) - ANSWER 1. End state
and CDR's objectives.
2. Target development and prioritization.
3. Capabilities analysis.
4. CDR's decision and force assignment.
5. Mission planning and force execution.
6. Assessment.
List the steps of the dynamic (HVI) targeting method. (F3EAD) - ANSWER 1.
Find.
2. Fix.
3. Finish.
4. Exploit.
5. Analyze.
6. Disseminate.
*Does not occur until the "decide" phase of D3A has occurred.
List the roles of a SOLE. - ANSWER 1. Critical to integrating the ARSOF/JSOTF
, CDR's targeting needs with the joint force.
2. Joint warfare at the operational level.
3. ARSOF LNOs to the JFACC.
4. Located at the air ops centre.
5. Not a decision maker.
List the four principles of targeting. (FEIS) - ANSWER 1. Focused: Achieving
JFC's objectives.
2. Effects-based: Produce specific effects through lethal and nonlethal actions.
3. Interdisciplinary: A command function that requires the participation of many
disciplines.
4. Systematic: Applying a rational and iterative process that methodically analyzes,
prioritizes, and assigns assets against targets systematically to achieve desired
effects.
List the three steps of JTC step 2 - Target Development and Prioritization. (TET) -
ANSWER 1. Target systems analysis.
2. Entity-level target development.
3. Target list management.
List the four steps of JTC step 3 - Capabilities Analysis. (TCFE) - ANSWER 1.
Target vulnerability analysis.
2. Capabilities assignment.
3. Feasibility assessment.
4. Effects estimate.
State the purpose of targeting. - ANSWER 1. To integrate and synchronize fires
(the use of available weapon systems to create specific lethal or nonlethal effects on
a target) into joint operations.
2. Links desired effects to actions and tasks.
