JFC TEST 1 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS (GRADED A+)
Four Principles of Joint Targeting - ANSWERFocused- Achieve CDRs objectives
Effects Based- Contribute to the achievement of JFC objectives.
What is a TST? - ANSWERTime sensitive target or set of targets JFC validated that present such a
significant threat, is such high importance to the JFCs mission and objectives that the JFC dictates
intelligence assets and fires.
What is Targeting? - ANSWERThe process of selecting and prioritizing targets and matching the
appropriate response to them, considering operational requirements and capabilities.
What is a target? - ANSWERis an entity or object that performs a function for the adversary
considered for possible engagement or action.
What is the product of Entity LVL TD? - ANSWERElectronic Target Folder. Must be available in MIDB.
The blank is the fundamental step in the JPP? - ANSWERJIPOE
What are the two categories of threat target system? - ANSWERState and Non-State
What are the five target entity types? - ANSWERFacility- Physical Structure
Individual- A person
Virtual- Collection of programs
Equipment- Object made up of any number of devices and components
, Organization- A group
Categories of Targeting - ANSWERDeliberate Targeting- planned targets (scheduled or on-call) known
to exist in the operational environment with engagement actions against them.
Scheduled Targets- prosecuted at a specific time
On-Call- actions planned but with no time. Expects to locate these targets in sufficient time to
execute planned actions.
Dynamic targeting - ANSWERIs normally employed in current operations planning because the nature
and timeframe associated with the current operations (24 HRS) typically requires more immediate
responsiveness than is achieved with deliberate targeting.
Unscheduled Targets- are known targets and are included on either the JTL or RTL but were not
nominated, were nominated but did not make the JIPTL, or were not expected to be available for
engagement within the TGTing cycle.
Unanticipated Targets- are unknown or not expected to be present in the operational environment.
Not included on the JTl/RTL, and an evaluation of the candidate target is needed to determine
engagement requirements and timing.
Unintended Effects - ANSWERSpill over to create unintended consequences which may be
counterproductive or may cause opportunities.
Indirect Effects - ANSWERAre the delayed and/or displaced second-third-and higher order
consequences of action created through intermediate events or mechanisms.
Cascading Effects - ANSWERcan ripple through a target system often influencing other systems.
Typically occurs through nodes and links.
Cumulative Effects - ANSWERtend to compound to the result of greater outcome.
