1. Scope This publication documents tactics, techniques, and procedures for conducting Joint Theater Missile Target Development (JTMTD). It establishes a common framework for soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines responsible for intelligence preparation of the battlespace (IPB), sensor employment, collection management, current and future operations, target development, and force application. This common framework will enable them to establish a comprehensive and coordinated approach for countering theater missiles (TM) through prelaunch attack operations against the entire target system. This publication's design recognizes that attack operations against TM is not a mission in itself, but a method of characterizing offensive operations regardless of mission area (e.g., counterair, interdiction, fire support, special operations, etc.) and is the responsibility of all forces.
