  PROVIDE INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT TO TARGETING (2.4)
  B-81. Targeting is the process of selecting and prioritizing targets and matching the appropriate response to
  them, considering operational requirements and capabilities (JP 3-0). Intelligence support to targeting
  provides the commander and staff the information and intelligence needed to support targeting actions. The
  intelligence cell (supported by the entire staff) provides the fire support coordinator, public affairs officer,
  cyberspace electromagnetic warfare officer, space support element, and other staff officers with information
  and intelligence for targeting threat forces and systems with direct and indirect fires to create effects (through
  lethal and nonlethal means). The information and intelligence include identifying threat capabilities and
  limitations. The Army’s targeting process uses the decide, detect, deliver, and assess (also called D3A)
  methodology. The intelligence officer provides accurate, current intelligence and information to the staff and
  ensures the information collection plan supports the finalized targeting plan. intelligence support to targeting
  consists of three tasks, as shown in figure B-5. (See FM 3-60.)

  PROVIDE INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT TO TARGET DEVELOPMENT (2.4.1)
  B-82. Target development is the systematic examination of potential target systems—and their components,
  individual targets, and even elements of targets—to determine the necessary type and duration of the action
  that must be exerted on each target to create an effect that is consistent with the commander’s specific
  objectives (JP 3-60). Target development involves the systematic analysis of threat forces and operations to
  determine high-value targets (HVTs) (people, organizations, or military units the threat commander requires
  for successful completion of the mission), high-payoff targets (HPTs) (people, organizations, or military units
  whose loss to the enemy contributes significantly to the success of the friendly COA), and systems and system
