The Purpose of a Joint Targeting Process

• The purpose of the joint targeting process is
  to provide the commander with a methodology
  linking objectives with effects throughout the
  battlespace.
• The targeting process provides a logical
  progression as an aid to decisionmaking and
  ensures consistency with the commanders
  objectives.
• Its primary focus is to assist the commander to
  most effectively employ military resources to
  achieve the JFCs objectives.

Why a Joint Targeting Process?

• Joint forces require a common joint targeting
  process in order to minimize the likelihood of
  conflicting or duplicative actions during
  military operations, as well as to mitigate
  potentially undesirable consequences resulting
  from the outcome of those operations.
• Consequently, components must understand the
  joint targeting process if they are to achieve
  the effects necessary to accomplish the
  commanders objectives.

The Results of Targeting

• Joint forces attack targets for the purposes of
  capture, destruction, disruption, delay,
  degradation, neutralization, deception, or
  exploitation, commensurate with the commanders
  objective.
• The desired effect of an action against a
  target should contribute to the attainment of a
  commanders specific objective.

Time Sensitive Targets (TST)
A time-sensitive target (TST) is described as a
target of such high priority to friendly forces
that the JFC designates it as requiring immediate
response because it poses (or will soon pose) a
danger to friendly forces, or it is a highly
lucrative, fleeting target of opportunity.
