PREPARATION LESSON LEARNED: ESTABLISH AND ENFORCE A CUTOFF TIME FOR SUBMITTING ROUTINE CHANGES TO THE TARGET LIST
A reasonable cutoff time is five hours prior to crossing the LD or anticipated beginning of defensive operations. Emergency and critically important changes identified prior to the start of an operation should be made if they will have an adverse effect on the operation. Changes that do not effect the outcome of the operation should not be made.
The effect of limiting the time for submitting changes is the same as controlling the number of planned targets: it gives more time to check data; better preparation for the mission; more time for dissemination of the fire plan; and more time to wargame and rehearse.
