opportunities. These teams support the JFMCC and NCC in developing and maintaining MDA and in directly support operational requirements.
–ONI, as part of the global maritime and air intelligence integration core element, serves as the primary intelligence center for collection and analytical reach-back for MIO-IET operations.
–Specific collection and exploitation skills include civil maritime expertise, DOMEX, interrogation, monitoring techniques, theater familiarity, and targeting. Team members are certified to conduct visit board search and seizure (VBSS) level I/II boardings. When directed by higher competent authority,MIO-IET personnel with required Human Derived Intelligence (HDI) training and accreditation can conduct maritime security operations in the maritime environment. IO tools and skills training facilitate IET operations.

mission planning and prosecutions.

Back 44

Front 46

List the six-steps of the Joint Targeting Cycle.

Back 46

–End State and Commander’s Objectives
The military end state and the Commander’s intent, objectives, desired effects, and required tasks provide the initial impetus for the targeting process
–Target Development and Prioritization
Examining potential target systems to determine the necessary type/duration of action that must be exerted on each target to create the required effect
–Capabilities Analysis
Evaluating available capabilities against desired effects to determine the appropriate options available to the commander
–Commander’s Decision and Force Assignment
Tasking orders are prepared and released to the executing components and forces
–Mission Planning and Force Execution
Providing tactical level planners with direct access to detailed information on the targets; detailed planning performed for the execution of operations
–Assessment
Examining the results of the target engagement; determining whether the desired effects have been created

Front 47

Discuss the role of intelligence in supporting strike
planning, targeting, and briefing/debriefing.

Back 47

–Establishing intelligence requirements is critical to the success of the entire targeting process. Targeteers must work closely with collection managers, intelligence analysts, and planners to ensure that intelligence requirements for planning, execution, and assessment requirements, and any changes that occur throughout the targeting cycle are integrated into the collection plan.
–Targeting is a function of intelligence and operations; it is the process of selecting and prioritizing targets and matching the appropriate response to them, considering operational requirements and
capabilities. Targeting represents the integration of enemy threat information, the analysis of target
systems, individual target characteristics, and the effect of joint force on those enemy targets.

post-strike Intel fusion

–Intelligence support is critical to all aspects of HA, especially in uncertain or hostile environments
-Critical in establishing situational awareness in the crisis area
-Enhances the commander’s ability to decide which areas to avoid and where to take extra precautions
-HUMINT is often a significant contributor, especially in determining how the local populace views the military forces
–Information required for an HA operation may not be readily available through traditional intelligence channels, so planners must identify essential elements and possible sources

A rapidly changing situation resulting from crisis conditions
A compressed timeframe for intelligence development
Restrictions on collection operations
