Integrate Army, Multinational, and Joint Fires 31 July 2019 ADP 3-19 3-11 Component analysts require training and require access to intelligence and targeting databases and repositories (many found only on Top Secret architecture). This includes training on the creation and maintenance of electronic target folders which are databased in the Modernized Integrated Database (referred to as the MIDB). The two interfaces for the Modernized Integrated Database are the National production Workshop and the Joint Targeting Toolbox. Training on all three steps in target development: Target system analysis. Entity level target development. Target list management 3-59. Analysts trained on these functions possess valuable and perishable skill sets. Often, certification currency requires laborious sustainment training requirements. Commanders should strongly consider whether “dual-hatting” these analysts or tasking them outside of their target development role is advantageous to the command. 3-60. For more on Joint Target Development, reference CJCSI 3370.01 Target Development Standards and JP 3-60 Joint Targeting. AIR AND MISSILE DEFENSE PLANNING AND INTEGRATION Surface-to-air planning and integration considers the activities and capabilities of Army, joint, and multinational AMD elements. AMD operations are often joint efforts to which all Services contribute and which are integrated at the theater level to accomplish the JFC’s counterair related missions. PLANNING AMD planning begins at the theater level and addresses the various aspects of AMD capabilities and airspace requirements. ADA staff personnel from the Army air and missile defense command participate in the development of war plans to shape specific regions well in advance of conflict; they ensure the surface- based counterair capabilities are integrated with the other domains and performed continuously throughout an operation. AMD planning considerations are based on capabilities of projected air and missile threats, sensor coverage by various AMD air and ground assets, sharing of air picture information, and networking requirements to support and coordinate the engagement of targets. These considerations are addressed throughout all phases of a joint operation as operations expand or tactical circumstances change. The intelligence preparation of the battlefield process assists the planners in visualizing the OE, assessing adversary air and missile capabilities (how good are they, how many are there by type that may be used against friendly assets, and how do they operate), and identifying the adversary’s probable intent and attack locations. This information will drive expected AMD design requirements and provide inputs to support attack operations by surface-to-surface and air-to-surface elements. The JFC provides the guidance and prioritization of key assets to be defended. Two prioritized lists of assets are developed and approved from the commander’s guidance. A critical asset list is a prioritized list of assets or areas, normally identified by phase of the operation and approved by the joint force commander that should be defended against air and missile threats (JP 3-01). A defended asset list is a listing of those assets from the critical asset list prioritized by the joint force commander to be defended with the resources available. (JP 3-01). These are theater-level lists. Similar type lists, such as the protected asset list, are developed at each subordinate echelon within Army, joint, and multinational forces. Based on this planning, the Army air and missile defense command task organizes the subordinate ADA formations and assigns missions to them. The Army air and missile defense command staff coordinates planning to ensure the overall Army AMD effort within the AO is integrated and synchronized. ADA planners review the initial DAL to ensure that sufficient resources are available and allocated to provide adequate protection. ADA planners review and revise the list continuously throughout an operation, in accordance with changes in missions, threat capabilities, available ADA forces, and related factors. For instance, when a mission changes, subordinate commanders and their staffs may nominate additional assets
