A EXAMPLE
TARGETING MEETING AGENDA
EXAMPLE TARGETING MEETING AGENDA
This appendix is designed to provide you with an example targeting meeting agenda. The targeting process provides the staff a means to focus and synchronize the unit's efforts based on the current enemy situation, current friendly unit success or lack of success, and directives from higher. The targeting process can also be used as an effective means to assess the current factors of METT-T to determine if some change or modification to your current plan is necessary. Conduct the targeting process based on orders and instructions you have received from your higher headquarters, or because the conditions within your area of operations dictate the need for a subtle change to the existing plan. The end state of the targeting meeting should be a FRAGO to subordinate units that will direct the detection, delivery of combat power, and assessment of targets designated by the commander. Use this example as a guide and adjust as necessary to suit your needs.
I. Focus: Bn 12-24 hours out; Bde 24-36 hours out, or it can be tailored for a specific event.
