Appendix A A-2 ATP 3-94.2 1 September 2016 DECIDE A-7. During the decide step of targeting, the following occurs: Development of named areas of interest, target areas of interest, HPTLs, and AGMs to focus the collection plan and prioritize assets. Synchronization of the HPTL and AGM with the decision support template. Coordination of FSCMs (such as the FSCL) and necessary triggers for the engagement of deep targets. Nomination of targets that cannot be serviced by corps or division for execution by joint assets. Analysis of the enemy’s courses of action (in conjunction with the G-2) and identification of high- value targets and high-payoff targets in support of deep target engagement. DETECT A-8. During the detect step of targeting, the following occurs: Synchronization of the corps and division sensors through the collection plan that are linked to the commander’s critical information requirement. Synchronization of the corps and division sensors and engagement systems. Synchronization and requisition of UAS for target development. Submission of input into the ATO. Requisition for joint assets. Field Artillery Intelligence Officer provides input to and output from the air coordination element and the fires cell. Targets that are identified but cannot be engaged are assigned an available collection asset to track until the target can be engaged (coordinate with the G-2 collection manager). DELIVER A-9. During the deliver step of targeting, the following occurs: Coordination and synchronization of mass effects on the target. Engagement of targets using available lethal assets to include air interdiction, attack aviation, and indirect fires using munitions such as the Army Tactical Missile System, the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System, cannon artillery, and naval fires. Engagement of targets with available nonlethal assets to include electronic warfare, cyber electromagnetic activities, military information support operations, and deception operations. Synchronization of lethal and nonlethal assets to ensure they do not conflict with each other. Verification that all engagements are simultaneous and in depth. Utilization of the AGM to synchronize the engagement of high-payoff targets. Coordination with other airspace users. ASSESS A-10. During the assess step of targeting, the following occurs: Coordination with the collection manager to ensure that there are sensor assets tasked to provide combat assessment to include battle damage assessment, munitions effects assessment, and reattack guidance on all identified target areas of interest to assess the effectiveness of the deep operation. Determination to conduct additional fires if the commander’s desired effects have not been achieved.
