Today’s Challenge In this complex operational environment (OE), Intent-based Operations provide the intellectual basis, framework, and processes to plan operations: Units must establish a sustainable cycle of planning that ensures they are constantly evaluating their progression or regression along their Lines of Effort and the decisions/actions that are required for successful accomplishment of their objectives. Tremendous expansion of the operational environment – location of forces, support and adversary operations beyond a narrow geographical battlefield, and missions conducted across the spectrum of conflict– Full Spectrum Operations Increased number of “players” operating within the operational environment, many of whom the Commander has no direct control over --- many with different objectives. Unity of Effort must become the goal – thus the DCC / JCC / JSS concept. The role of civilian support and supervision (sometimes control) of military operations – not just for US forces but coalition and multinational partners Each area adds a degree of complexity to today’s planning operations. All must be incorporated into the mind and actions of the Commander and ultimately their subordinates – TARGETING!

What is Targeting? Targeting is a command responsibility that requires participation of both the coordinating and special staffs. Targeting must support the commander’s battle plan and be a reflection of his intent. The targeting process is a continual effort which is a crucial portion of the sychronization of combat power. FM

Key Terminology PIR-SIR-SOR Linkages
Priority Intelligence Requirement (PIR). An intelligence requirement associated with a decision that will affect the overall success of the command’s mission. PIR are prioritized among themselves and may change in priority over the course of an operation Specific Information Requirement (SIR). SIR’s describe the information required to answer all or part of a PIR. A complete SIR describes the information required, the location where the information can be collected (NAI) and the time during which it can be collected. Generally, each PIR generates sets of SIR. Specific Order or Request (SOR). SOR’s direct and designate the reporting requirements and execution of a collection mission. SOR’s sent to subordinate commands are orders on how SIR collected information will be transmitted. SORs sent to adjacent units are requests. These are the doctrinal terms we use to focus collection assets into gathering the information we need to execute missions. PIR’s break down into two subsets. SIR’s specify bottom line for the collection mission mission and SOR specify how the collected info will be put into the information pipeline FM 34-1, Page G-7 and G-8

Key Terminology Measure of Effectiveness (MOE): Tools used to measure results achieved in the overall mission and execution of assigned tasks. Measures of effectiveness are a prerequisite to the performance of combat assessment. Also called MOEs. See also combat assessment; mission. (JP 1-02) Measure of Performance (MOP): Criteria used to evaluate accomplishment of friendly actions; MOPs are tied to task and task assessment. (USJFCOM)

Information Operations
Lines Of Effort UNITY OF EFFORT GOVERNANCE SECURITY RULE OF LAW RELIEF & RESETTLEMENT CIVIL ADMINISTRATION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CENTCOM Lines of Effort ECONOMY SECURITY GOVERNANCE ESSENTIAL SERVICES Theater Core Foundations STRATEGIC COMMS Corps Lines of Effort Information Operations ECONOMY SECURITY GOVERNANCE ESSENTIAL SERVICES BCT Lines of Effort This comes from a presentations on Lines of Operations that the Broncos are working on with LTP. We just got the final draft on it last week. As I go through the next few slides on the LOO, you’ll see: Brigades have Lines of Operation (which is debatable) How the LOO connects to a Measure of Effectiveness Lines of Operation are formed from the Regional Command thru Division. There is some debate on whether or not a Brigade develops Lines of Operation for their area of operation or whether they merely develop operational goals within the Lines of Operation of the Division the support. Since BCTs are now expected to accomplish what Divisions and Corps once accomplished, and since their area of operation is no longer a linear battlefield, BCTs should develop Lines of Operation to focus the efforts of the BCT and they should be nested with the Lines of Operation with their higher commands. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with BCTs having lines of operation, what follows is a methodology that is applicable to all BCTs. This LOO nesting methodology shows how that tactical measures of effectiveness are developed in support of operational and strategic goals. By understanding and visualizing this methodology, Brigade staffs are better able to translate the resulting products into the targeting process.

Each LOO has an desired effect it is trying to achieve and collectively they lead to accomplishing the end state. Initially, Combat Operations was the main effort and Train and Employ Iraqi Security Forces was the supporting effort. Since the recent, and continuing, elections in Iraq, the main effort transferred to Promote Legitimate Government and the supporting effort remains the same. This is not to say, however, that the other lines of operation are not important to achieving the desired end state. Each has a series of objectives and desired effects that lead to the accomplishment of the overall end state for the BCT. Economic Pluralism Local businesses established to meet local needs and accountable to the populace and IZG Promote Iraqi Employment Opportunities Leverage PRT to fullest extent with local businesses and initiatives Establish an Iraqi Chamber of Commerce in Ghazi Establish a Better Business Bureau in Ghazi Essential Services Local populace has basic needs met in all areas and government has systems in place for management without CF oversight Assist Local Government Identification and Prioritization of Essential Service efforts Link ISF Security to Vital Essential Service Sites and Facilities Facilitate Provincial Investment into Local Essential Service Infrastructure Development and Long Term Maintenance

Company / Troop IST Inputs Troop/Company Assessment
Date: 01 to 15 Jan 09 Alpha 3-21 Commanders Weekly Update Location: Al Jaff (NV ) Overall AO Assessment: Assessment remains unchanged. LNs support coalition effort and are friendly towards us. Sewer: Al Jaff lacks a basic sewer system and aboveground dumping is prevalent in the community causing potential health concerns. Water: The town well has gone dry and the primary source of water remains the water buffalo provided by Apache Troop and refilled every 2 days. Electricity: Al Jaff has only 14 hours of reliable power a day with blackouts common during daylight hours. Academics: The town school is in critical need of repair and is not operating at this time. School children must travel to MW to attend school. Trash: Trash has been less of an issue with the completion of the recent CERP project however trash build-up will occur again with no systemic trash removal service in place. Security: The local population continues to support the ISF and the operation of the Joint Security Station. Troop/Company Assessment No notes for this slide. Atmospherics: Tension remains between the Sunni and Shia population, Shia leaders both civi and religious still refuse to attend the weekly meetings with the town mayor. Generally LNs have welcomed CF patrols in town and seem receptive to SOI. Many LNs have said they have never spoken with CF in the last two years.

Framing the Problem: SIR Development
Why are locals not reporting? What are the Army and Police Doing? Why the increase attacks? Patterns? Who is attacking ? Where? Most Western Section of RTE IA DRANG Problem Set: IED attacks along RTE IA DRANG When? Explode in morning hours How? Must travel through Al Jaff or Medina Wasl How? night; Daisy-chained 152mm

What are some fixes? Which are the best?
What ones can I get at this targeting cycle? Determine needs of LAB-E Reduce Military Traffic on RTE IA DRANG Influence the Army & Police for random TCP Desired Effect: 50% Reduction of IED attacks along RTE IA DRANG NLT D+3 $ for information campaign? Billboard, handbill, and leaflets w/ civilian causalities ISR and SKT ops along RTE IA DRANG

STEP 5 The Outputs

PRODUCTS BY STAFF SECTION / WFF (OUTPUTS)
S2 - Updated SITTEMP, IRs, ISR Matrix, Patrol Pre/Debrief format. S3 - Approved Tasks to Subordinate units from TSM to be included in cyclic FRAGO or OPORD. FSO- Updated Approved TSM Updated Target List Work Sheet (Lethal Fire Support), FSEM (Lethal Targets), Observation Plan and Overlay (nested in the ISR Plan). Approved IRs EN – Updated plan for assured mobility, EOD, PMO, MWD ISO approved future operations S4- Updated logistics support plan, contractor support requests S5 – Updated guidance for project nominations and CMO, approved IRs S6 – Updated communication plan ISO approved future operations S7 – Updated guidance on IO themes and messages

Proposed Concept of Operations
The concept for this operation is to reduce IED attacks along RTE IA DRANG by 50% NLT D+3. The TF will accomplish this by attacking/engaging the entire system: enemy employing IEDs, bomb maker, financier, local authority and populace involvement and support for US/Coalition CAV attacks to reduce incidents of IED attacks against US/Coalition forces in AO Scorpion CAV conducts attacks to capture/kill enemy employing IEDs along RTE IA DRANG NLT D CAV engages principle leaders of Al Jaff and Medina Wasl to ; ISF Cell assess police forces and IA units in Al Jaff and Medina Wasl and solicits their assistance; PSYOP will distribute handbills in Al Jaff and at TCP’s in the AO CAV units will vary SPs and patterns along IED Hotspot Desired Effect: NLT than D+3 a 50% reduction of IED attacks along RTE IA DRANG and an increase of 25% in the reporting of hostile anti-coalition activity by the local populace.
