text: The Targeting Process
  Munitions Effectiveness Assessment
  2-80. The operations officer, in coordination with the FSE and targeting working group, conducts munitions
  effectiveness assessment concurrently and interactively with BDA, as a function of combat assessment.
  Munitions effectiveness assessment is an assessment of the military force in terms of the weapon system and
  munitions effectiveness. Munitions effectiveness assessment is conducted using approved weaponeering
  software and provides the basis for recommendations to increase the effectiveness of:
  * Methodology.
  * Tactics.
  * Weapon systems.
  * Munitions.
  * Weapon delivery parameters.
  2-81. The targeting working group may recommend modifying commander's guidance concerning:
  * Unit basic load.
  * Required supply rate.
  * Controlled supply rate.
  Reattack Recommendation
  2-82. Failure to achieve BDA, or failure to create necessary effects as a result of BDA, requires a decision
  from the commander. The targeting team and current operations must assess operational risks associated with
  the HPT and provide options to mitigate the risks. Based on the BDA and munitions effectiveness assessment,
  the intelligence officer in conjunction with the FSCOORD or deputy FSCOORD and operations officer
  consider the level to which objectives have been achieved and make recommendations to the commander.
  Reattack and other recommendations should address objectives relative to:
  * Targets.
  * Target critical elements.
  * Target systems.
  * Enemy combat force strengths.
  * Friendly maneuver.
  Battle Damage Assessment and Operational Assessment
  2-83. Commanders continuously assess the OE and the progress of operations and compare them to their
  initial vision and intent. Commanders adjust operations based on their assessment to ensure objectives are
  met and the military end state is achieved. Figure 2-2 provides an example of an operational assessment.
  2-84. Operational Assessment is normally performed only at echelons above brigade. At the echelons above
  brigade this is typically achieved through the assessments working group. The assessment working group is
  led by the plans or operations staff officers with participation from the entire staff. The key output of the
  assessment working group is the consolidated assessment of effects created during the assessed targeting
  cycle and assessed progress toward operational objectives. An example assessment working group agenda
  can be found in Appendix E Battle Rhythm Products. For more information on assessments working groups
  see FM 6-0 or ATP 5-0.3. At brigade and BN levels, commanders and their staffs normally execute tactical
  assessment. Tactical assessment is primarily concerned with the unit’s success or failure to set conditions for
  the close fight, focused on assessing:
  * The unit’s success in detecting their HPTs.
  * The unit’s success in attacking those HPTs as planned (lethally or nonlethally).
  * The unit’s success in producing the desired effects against HPTs, the enemy or on the OE more
  broadly.
