About

Targeting is part of the tactical decision-making process used to focus the battlefield operating systems (BOSs) to achieve the commander's intent. The methodology used to translate the commander's intent into a plan is decide, detect, deliver, and assess. The functions associated with this methodology help the commander to decide what to attack with his fire support system, how to acquire those targets, and when those targets are found, how to attack them in a way that disrupts, delays, or limits the enemy's ability to achieve his objectives. Targeting is a command responsibility that requires participation of key members of both the coordinating and special staffs. The commander establishes the environment that determines the quality of the targeting effort, and targeting often determines the commander's success or failure. The targeting process is challenging.
