Chapter 3 3-10 ADP 3-19 31 July 2019 (functional or Service components). Coordination and communication between the components, theater analyst, and multinational partners is critical executing fire plans and engaging targets of opportunity. 3-53. The LCC HQ is responsible for integrating the D3A targeting processes into the joint targeting cycle. Additional target development steps are required when nominating a target into the joint targeting cycle. 3-54. The LCC HQ consolidates subordinate tactical level targeting nominations (developed through D3A) for inclusion into the joint targeting cycle while bridging the target development gaps required for phases II and III of the joint targeting cycle (see JP 3-60 and also see figure 3-1 for more information). A critical intelligence gap between D3A and joint targeting cycle is the capability to conduct intermediate, and advanced target development on tactical target nominations in accordance with CJCSI 3370.01C. Target nominations must meet the JFC’s target validation criteria through the joint targeting decision board. The joint integrated prioritize target list is used by all components to task assets available to best create the desired effects against targets. Figure 3-1. Example LCC D3A Target nominated to joint targeting cycle 3-55. In order to meet the requirement for intermediate target development within phase II of the joint targeting cycle the LCC staff must certify intelligence staff in joint intermediate target development (JITD) guidance as defined by the current updated Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction on target development. 3-56. In order to meet the requirement for advanced target development within phase III of the joint targeting cycle the LCC staff must certify intelligence staff and establish accredited target material production work centers according to guidance defined by the current updated CJCSIs on target development and collateral damage methodology. 3-57. Local standard operating procedures generally guide target development done at tactical echelons within the Army. That is, target products (such as folders, targeting materials, and graphics) often vary from one command to the next. Conversely, joint policy, instructions, and doctrine govern joint target development. Joint target development is rigid, rigorous, and standardized to ensure target materials created by one analyst or component is understood, recognizable, retrievable, and re-creatable by members of the JIM team. 3-58. Target development in a joint environment generally requires the following things: Component analysts trained and certified in joint intermediate target development, target material production, collateral damage estimation, weaponeering, and battle damage assessment.
