Set The Conditions

• Weather/Illumination window
• Freedom of maneuver enroute through localized
  air supremacy
• Freedom of maneuver at objective
• Capability to re-supply, reinforce
• Ability to maintain the conditions

• The Hard Part Is Quantifying It
• Express As Effect or Amount?

25
Targeting In The 101st

• Key to success in 101st Mechanism for
  achieving commanders intent, setting the
  conditions
• Focuses combat power Complete integration of
  assets
• Decide, Detect (Track), Deliver, Assess D3A
  Methodology
• Imbedded in battle rhythm
• Nested with corps / JTF battle rhythm
• No separate deep battle cell

Effects Based Planning

• Mission type requests vice target lists
• Ensures proper use of assets
• Requires coordination and a common understanding
  of the desires and capabilities of the services
  involved
• Allows greater flexibility in planning and
  execution

30
Objectives And TasksRelationships

• Operational objectives are the desired
  operational or theater strategic effects of
  multi-service employment
• Tactical objectives are the desired tactical
  effects to be produced by accomplishing the
  tactical tasks
• Tactical tasks are actions against specified
  types of targets, using lethal and non-lethal
  capabilities, to produce the desired tactical and
  operational level effects

31
Targeting Objectives
LIMIT To reduce the options DISRUPT To
reduce capabilities DELAY Alter time of
arrival DIVERT To force the enemy to move
capabilities DAMAGE Subjective or objective
assessment of battle damage. DESTROY (Must be
defined clearly)
FM 6-20-10 p.1-1 JP 1.02
32
What is a Measure Of Merit(MOM)?

• A statement that clarifies the effects to be
  produced on a target or target set, e.g. the
  degree to which an enemy capability is to be
  reduced.
• Criteria
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Collectable
• Realistic

33
Measure Of Merit (MOM) For Each Tactical Task

• Measures of merit should be tailored to the best
  means available for measuring
• Task Suppress first echelon artillery
• MOM 70 of artillery tubes damaged or
  destroyed-- Requires extensive recce for damage
  assessment of tubes
• MOM Arty rounds fired reduced by 70--
  Calculated by counter-battery radar

34
Effects Based Planning

• Effects based planning is based on the assumption
  that achieving a measure of merit on selected
  targets will produce desired tactical and
  operational level effects that will achieve the
  JFCs objectives
• EXAMPLETactical Tasks Tactical Effect
  Opnl Effect
• Destroy SA-6s
• ECM against SAM radars Disrupt IADS
• ADA CPs Gain air
  superiority
• Destroy FARPs
• A/C on Aflds Defeat A/C SSMs
• Destroy SSMs support

35
101st Targeting Meetings

• Division meetings chaired by chief of staff
• Produces FRAGO and nominations, not just
  targeting products (a list is not a mission)
• 1 per day in division battle rhythm
• Target tracking (scoreboard)

CONCLUSION

• Air assault operations provide for unique
  capabilities and challenges
• The 101st ABN DIV (AASLT) uses the targeting
  process to help focus operations to achieve
  unified effects against the enemy
• Provides the means to break the BOS stove
  pipes
• Provides means to synch all of the divisions
  capabilities with higher and joint assets.

43
JOINT VISION 2010 MANY MILITARY MISSIONS WILL
REQUIRE OCCUPATION OF THE GROUND, AND INTENSIVE
PHYSICAL PRESENCE.
CSA VISION 2010 A VERSATILE FORCE IS REQUIRED
TO RESPOND WITH LITTLE OR NO NOTICE TO THE FULL
SPECTRUM OF OPERATIONS.
BOTH DEMAND THE CAPABILITIES OF THE AIR ASSAULT
