What sets the basic procedural framework for Dynamic Targeting (DT)?

The foundational procedural framework for Dynamic Targeting (DT) is established by the Joint Force Commander's (JFC's) guidance and objectives. This framework outlines the overall goals and intent of military operations, providing direction for how engagements are prioritized and executed in a dynamic environment. The JFC synthesizes intelligence, operational capabilities, and strategic requirements to formulate effective targeting strategies that adapt to changing battlefield conditions, making it essential for success in operations.

In contrast, while field reports, historical engagement data, and technical specifications are valuable inputs in the broader targeting process, they serve more as complementary tools rather than the core framework. Field reports can inform decision-making, historical data may provide insights for future scenarios, and technical specifications guide the application of specific capabilities. However, none of these components alone establishes the central guiding framework as comprehensively as the JFC's guidance and objectives. This ensures that all targeting actions align with the overarching mission and operational strategy.
