The JAGIC executes dynamic interdiction missions differently depending on the target type, location, and priority. Paragraphs A-18 through A-24 provide an example process, and they depict the general tasks involved in the interdiction process. A-19. Deliberate interdiction missions are normally preplanned and executed at either the JAOC level (for JFACC selected targets), or at the Army component fires cell. For immediate interdiction requests, the JAGIC supports prosecution in support of the JAOC or as requested in support of the division commander in the area of operations. A-20. Interdiction is an action to divert, disrupt, delay, or destroy the enemy’s military surface capability before it can be used effectively against friendly forces, or to otherwise achieve objectives (JP 3-03). In most instances, requests for immediate interdiction missions are sent to the division staff from brigade-level forces, or identified through use of information collection platforms controlled by the JFACC or division. A-21. Once interdiction targets are identified, the division staff (normally the [G-2] and fires element) initiates coordination with the targeting officer or qualified representative within the JAGIC. The targeting officer and the interdiction coordinator begin analyzing the target by reviewing target type, location, and proximity to ground forces. They discuss potential organic fires at the divisions’ disposal, to include Army aviation, to execute against the target. The interdiction coordinator then coordinates with the SODO on assets available to the JFACC to execute the mission and discusses potential use of Army surface fires. Prosecution of interdiction targets is normally a JFACC-supported mission. This means the JFACC has ownership of the mission and decides if air assets will support the request. If the JAOC determines it has available assets to
